Shadows Over A Hangman's Noose Mike Friedman

The dreams arrive, un-invited. Eli Baker is visited by the dead, and they always have one request of him: find out the truth about their deaths. Melanie Hooper is missing and yet, as an orphan, there is no one missing Melanie Hooper. Her co-workers find it odd that she left, and unsettling for sure, but she is, after all, an adult, and perhaps she simply decided to start a new life somewhere else. With no body or suspicious circumstances to go by, the Seattle police do not consider Melanie's disappearance to be sinister at all. But Eli Baker has dreams, and Melanie Hooper has visited him in one, along with four other orphans who are also missing. The search is on, and Eli Baker is the right man to delve into the case of the missing orphans. However, Eli soon finds that evil acts are not only performed by evil men, but by Evil itself. Eli, his girlfriend Liz, and his deadly friend Striker are about to face off against a foe the likes of which they have never encountered. "Shadows Over A Hangman's Noose" is the third in the "Shadows" series. It will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the sinister shadows of life. William D.
