The Primeval - Paperback

After losing his grandmother and his job on the same day, Fran Rivera reconnects with his childhood friend Jack Catcher and begins working for him at his family's construction company. As they begin work on a housing development in the forest they grew up playing in, unusual things begin happening. Pieces of equipment go missing, strange markings are burned into the trees, and Jack's troubled brother is found sleepwalking in the middle of the woods. These and other events bring back memories from Fran's childhood that he thought were the imaginings of a child. Behind schedule on the project, and desperate to find out who is behind the vandalism, Jack and a few others spend the night at the worksite and come face to face with an ancient evil that has been waiting for them in the forest. Fran will have to confront his troubled past in order to survive the night.
