"The DevilCat Mystery"
SYNOPSIS
A supernatural mystery thriller by Essa Zahir, revised and re-edited for 2018 publication (First published in 2009). PDF format, 504 pages at double spaced lines, point size 14. Fantasy genre with aspects of: horror, mystery, thriller, action, eroticism, occult & witchcraft.
The tale is inspired by the sightings of non-native big cats in the British Isles, which have been with us for decades as in The Beast Of Exmore.
After a series of intense encounters with a wild and mysterious black cat in her native country of Asatania in Eastern Europe, angelic six year-old Valerie, suffering from emotional and psychological trauma is brought over to England by her enigmatic uncle Valmere Vernoff. Before he arrives in England, Valmere learns- his beloved niece had only been cursed by the black hand of fate from his own very dark past.
As foretold, Valerie’s life in a less than friendly environment, finally pushes the teenager over the edge out of Valmere’s control, after which she’s lost to the shadows.
After a five-year absence of the human soul into the dark void, sightings of the mysterious cats increase. Two human murders and numerous livestock kills are left in the black cat’s trail, when Valerie emerges out as a bewitchingly beautiful young woman in deep spiritual turmoil and suffering from amnesia.
Having found herself entangled in a love affair with Terry, a maverick
young cat sleuth on the trail of the murderous black cat, backed up by teams of
deadly pursuers, the scene is set for an intense and brutal confrontation
between man and beast. FREE PROMO available, see “The Devilcat Mystery Promo”.
