Book Review: Evil Attacks, Bootlegger Fights Back
Summary: 5 Stars

Rick Gordon is a retired record bootlegger, who has become an off road race car driver. He's in the middle of a race across the Australian desert with his wife Ann acting as navigator, when their car breaks down. Two aging Aborigines happen along and they die. Somehow Rick and Ann know to bury them and they instinctively know not to tell anyone what happened. But what they don't know is that the old couple were only staying alive long enough to find a suitable couple to transfer their spirits to.

That in itself isn't as bad as it seems, because the spirits that moved into Rick and Ann were good. However there is an evil spirit roaming around that wants to kill the good ones and it follows Rick and Ann home from Australia.

Back in the small Northern California town of Tampico, Rick and Ann settle into their routine, when Rick is spotted by Private Investigator Sam Storm, who once upon a time had been hired by the record industry to track him down because of his nefarious record bootlegging. However, times have changed, Rick has gone straight and the record companies have been churning out CDs for years, but that doesn't deter Storm, especially not after that bad Australian spirit possess him.

What follows is a horror story of the King and Koontzien variety that just thrilled the heck out of me. Non-stop action and a terrific body count. It seems that Mr. Rick Gordon had a lot of co-conspirators back when he made those record bootlegs. It also seems that Mr. Sam Storm has felt the fool all these years, because even though he knew who they were, he could never get any proof against them. Well now that he's possessed by this evil, killing spirit thingy from Australia, he doesn't need any proof, all he needs is revenge. And he sets out to get it in this five star scary story.
