A real page-turner of a horror novel! I thought this was on a par with some of Stephen King's or Dean Koontz's stories with maybe a little Richard Laymon thrown in. The story takes place in the small town of Potter's Field in the cattle country of Wyoming. It starts out with some mysterious mutilations of cattle and then escalates to the death of a man whose face has been torn off. And then a young child goes berserk and attacks his mother. So what is going on and who or what is responsible? The local Police Chief, Nathan Slaughter, who has left Detroit for a more peaceful life in Wyoming, delves into the nightmare that is plaguing Potter's Field. Along with the local medical examiner, they discover a possible plague, but what exactly is it? And how does it relate to a commune of hippies that settled nearby in the mountains over 20 years ago?
Overall, a good thriller that kept my interest throughout. I also have a few other Morrell novels that I need to get to soon.
