Black House: A Novel (Talisman Book 2)

Twenty years after traveling to a parallel universe called the Territories to save his mother, Jack Sawyer is now a retired Los Angeles homicide detective living in Tamarack, Wisconsin. He has no memory of his past adventures and was forced to leave the police force when an unusual event threatened to revive those memories. When a series of brutal murders occur in western Wisconsin that echo crimes committed decades earlier by a killer named Albert Fish, the perpetrator becomes known as "the Fishman." Jack's friend, the local police chief, asks him to help the inexperienced force track down the killer. Jack begins experiencing unexplained waking dreams involving robins' eggs and red feathers—cryptic messages that seem designed to communicate something to him. As these visions intensify and become impossible to ignore, Jack is drawn back to the Territories and his own hidden past. He may need to find the inner strength to enter a terrifying house deep in a deserted forest, where he will confront the obscene and ferocious evils contained within it.
