Jeremiah Corday is mortally wounded in the battle of Trader’s Hill, a Civil War conflict too obscure to be written into the history books. From this moment he is doomed to immortality. But he must pay a price. Nearly 100 years later Ramsey Paxton, bored with his mundane existence, pulls up stakes and invests his life savings in a dilapidated Georgia timber mill that comes with an antebellum style mansion. As he works to restore the neglected mansion, he discovers an ancient light bulb which, when turned on, discloses a horrifying past. Melba DeSoto, a big city newspaper reporter, returns to her hometown and meets her match in Ramsey Paxton. Together they experience unbelievable terror as their life-paths converge. Murder, hatred, alligators, and a mysterious swamp blend together in a riveting tale as violent death, both past and present, slithers through rural Georgia and pits good against evil.

Nice little novel,

This review is from: 20/20 Vision (Paperback)
What a nice little novel. I only get chances to read a few minutes on the train in the mornning and afternoon -- a little at night, and this little book fit in perfectly. I liked the writing, the little Southern expressions and mannerisms. I liked the relatively short chapters and sections. The plotting was lively and tight even though the lightbulb device, to my way of thinking, was a little over the top and didn't add a lot. I like the way he settled things at the end. It reminded me of a typical 'Murder She Wrote' kind of ending where everything is cleaned up, tidy, loose-ends snipped off. Sure, maybe this is not the way things really work but if I wanted reality, I wouldn't be reading a book now would I? Ramsay's character could have come through a little clearer in my humble opinion but, overall, characterization was adequate, especially for the villian. A very pleasant read, I must say.
