Shepherd Lake — Peter Rennebohm

Three years removed from the harrowing odyssey that led to Blue Springs, sixteen-year old Charlie Nash struggles to deal with the tragic loss of his father. Filled with anger and remorse, Charlie shuns family and friends. Along with the family dog, he sets out from the family cabin to explore an old military site on the far side of Shepherd Lake. Two concerned teens who refuse to accept Charlie's rejection, decide to join the search. Long buried secrets uncovered by Charlie's father draw the teenagers deep into The Northern Minnesota forest...and deeper still into harms' way; for there are others also on the hunt: Evil men who will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. The teens are oblivious to danger they face. Their only hope for survival lies with a mysterious local resident who has first-hand knowledge of what really occurred on the far side of the lake.
