Some borders should never be crossed. From the author of The Beast of Barcroftcomes a waking nightmare of a horror novel that’s sure to thrill readers of Stephen King and Bentley Little.   Exâ€"Delta Force Davis Holland, now an agent for the Customs and Border Patrol, has seen it all. But nothing in his experience has prepared him for what he and the local sheriff find one freezing night in the Minnesota woods.   Investigating reports of an illegal border crossing, the two men stumble across a blood-drenched scene of mass murder, barely escaping with their lives . . . and a single clue to the mayhem: a small wooden chest placed at the heart of the massacre. Something deadly has entered Holland’s territory, crossing the border from nightmare into reality.   When news of the atrocity reaches wealthy cryptozoologist Richard Severance, he sends a three-person team north to investigate. Not long ago, the members of that teamâ€"Ben McKelvie, Lindsay Clark, and Alex Standingcloudâ€"were nearly killed by a vengeful shapeshifter. Now they are walking wounded, haunted by gruesome memories that make normal life impossible. But there is nothing normal about the horror that awaits in the Northwoods.
