Product Description

Product Description

Creator of Rambo and co-founder of the Inter-national Thriller Writers organization, David Morrell has been called “the father of the modern action novel.” Now this award-winning, New York Times bestselling author delivers The Shimmer, a novel of chilling impact.
When police officer Dan Page’s wife disappears, her trail leads to Rostov, a remote Texas town where unexplained phenomena attract hundreds of spectators each night. Not merely curious, these onlookers are compelled to reach this tiny community and gaze at the mysterious Rostov Lights.
But more than the faithful are drawn there. A gunman begins shooting at the lights, screaming “Go back to hell where you came from!” then turns his rifle on the innocent bystanders. As more and more people are drawn to the scene of the massacre, the stage is set for even greater bloodshed.
To save his wife, Page must solve the mystery of the Rostov Lights. In the process, he uncovers a deadly government secret dating back to the First World War. The lights are more dangerous than anyone ever imagined, but even more deadly are those who try to exploit forces beyond their control.
With The Shimmer, David Morrell takes readers on a brilliant, terrifying journey. Suspenseful, yet thought-provoking, it is the master at his very best.

This review is from: The Shimmer (Hardcover)
I have read Creepers and Scavenger and really enjoyed The Shimmer. I was surprised to find out "the lights" mentioned in the book are factual.

4.0 out of 5 stars A SATISFYINGLY SPOOKY THRILLER, Jul 20 2009
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Shimmer (Audio CD)

Actor, director, producer, and two-time Audie finalist Phil Gigante gives an easy to listen to well enunciated reading of this satisfyingly spooky thriller. If you like the supernatural, psychotic mass murderers, no holds barred reporters, quirky scientists, and conniving government officials in your stories , look no further and give a listen to David Morrell's The Shimmer.

Author Morrell must know something about Marfa, Texas, which has a reputation for odd lights that appear in the sky. He has chosen Rostov, Texas, as his fictional site, but to most Texans we're talking Marfa.

Nonetheless, Santa Fe cop Dan Page goes home to an empty house. His wife, Tori, isn't there. No, she hasn't gone shopping. She left a note saying she's going to visit her mother, but that's not the case either. Tori has gone off to Rostov to see the lights.

Dan tracks her down only to find himself in the middle of a blood bath as after shooting at the lights a crazed gunman opens fire on the crowd. Well, nothing draws a crowd , reporters, and TV crews better than a massacre in a remote Texas town noted for other worldly phenomena. It's up to Dan to bring order out of chaos.
