One-Eyed Jack has returned....
FBI crime analyst Kili Brennan has come to Boone Creek, in the Appalachian foothills of Kentucky, looking for her missing brother... looking for answers. Instead, she finds a world of suspicion and superstition. Locals say her brother, and a string of others, may have been killed by One-Eyed Jack - the fabled giant guardian that protects the fantastic archaeological monument he was researching. As Kili's search intensifies, the danger escalates, and the only person that can help her is a man whose mysterious past might be just as frightening, and infinitely more dangerous, than the dark secrets she is determined to uncover. A man named Ezekiel Crane.

"Charming writing; bravura performance"
Let's see, if I could sum up "The Curse of One-Eyed Jack" in three words, they'd be Magical, Suspenseful and Thriller.
One-Eyed Jack was my favorite, because I couldn't figure out who/what he/it was until the end.
The scene between Granny Craine and the boy Jimmy.
Who or what is killing people off in the wilds of Kentucky, and why are the folks of the nearby town keeping the killer's identity secret?
The narration of this book is particularly stong; the dialect spot-on while remaining understandable.
