Synopsis: "In the shadows, not all the monsters have claws. While leading an amateur ghost-hunting expedition in the mountains of North Carolina, the BCPI team gets an urgent call to investigate sightings of a weird, frightening creature in the forest near a remote Smoky Mountain lodge. The case hints of another interdimensional gateway, and Sam Raintree wants no part of it. The last one nearly took the life of his boss and lover, Dr. Bo Broussard. Now that they're finally together and working through their problems, Sam wants nothing to jeopardize their progress. Yet he can't ignore the fact that he is the only one with the unique psychokinetic ability to permanently close the gateway that could be threatening the lodge and its few remaining guests. If, indeed, that's the source of the sightings. There's only one way to find out—split up the team and hit the trail. Once on the scene, a missing man, a grisly discovery, and a moment of carelessness reveal secrets much different—and far uglier—than anyone expected. Secrets which not only put their lives in danger, but could provide Sam with an escape from the portals. If he's willing to take the chance." – quoted from this book's product page on Samhain's website as of 2016-11-02..
