Bonegrinder

Set in the Ozarks from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Night Caller

He "knows how to make you shiver" (Harlan Coben).

The boy's encounter

When the men find him, the boy's legs look like they were run through a wood-chipper. He is bleeding heavily and near death, but he still has the strength to tell them of the monster that attacked him: a dark, massive creature that emerged from the bottom of the lake. The child dies before he can say more.

Sheriff Billy Wintone's skepticism

Sheriff Billy Wintone has seen too much superstition, drunkenness, and rage in this small Ozarks town to believe the delirious boy's tale of a monster lurking under the lake's dark waters. Like it or not, however, Wintone must scour the woods for the man or beast who killed the child before the start of fishing season. When another body is found chewed to pieces, the Sheriff begins to wonder what evil lies at the bottom of Big Water Lake.
