Dark Secret

Doc is a man haunted by a nefarious past he cannot remember and tormented by an inner demon that threatens his sanity... When a group of friends ignore the warnings of the locals and embark on a wild weekend fueled by alcohol and the desire for a good time, they quickly discover all legends aren't urban or created equally. From the first shot of a gun-toting maniac, the friends' idyllic getaway turns into an endless torrent of bloodshed and murder. The terror mounts as the remaining victims learn there is no escaping. It is up to the few who are still standing to identify the madman, while frantically searching for weapons to use against the encroaching danger. But what happens next is beyond anyone's darkest imagination. ... As Doc's dark past begins to catch up with him, he soon realizes that his only hope for survival is to win the final battle on the notorious shores of Beacons Cove-where he discovers the awful truth about his troubled past. Dark Secret was originally titled Darkness Whispers, set in a small ill-fated town on the southeast coast of England. Darkness Whispers was first published in the United States and contains U. S. spelling.
