Locust Time: A Novel of Suspense

by Dale T. Phillips

Welcome to Resurrection, a former mining company town with too many dark secrets, where science and religion form a shady alliance. Sixteen-year-old Judy Winstead is forced to move there with her recently widowed mother, but finds few allies among the tight-lipped townsfolk. People who stand out or speak out endanger themselves, while dreadful experiments and worse take place in the caverns and tunnels beneath the town.

This was a fantastic read!! It gripped me from page one. Dale is an excellent writer and the storyline has many great twists. I love the creepy atmosphere of fictional Resurrection OH!! No spoilers!! If you like eerie small towns and cat/mouse thrillers, this is one you won't want to miss! The audio book is amazing too, superbly narrated!
