THE JERSEY DEVIL

Black Atlas #2

From bestselling thriller author Douglas Corleone, a new case for investigator Zack Hitchens, where folklore isn’t a story. It’s an incident.

In the New Jersey Pine Barrens, something is tearing through the night: fast, silent, and wrong. Livestock vanish. Witnesses swear they’ve seen wings and a wolfish muzzle. Then the bodies start turning up… and the details don’t match any predator on record.

Zack Hitchens has chased monsters before. On Everest, he learned the hard way that survival doesn’t mean safety -- and that the official story is rarely the true one. When he’s pulled into a fresh outbreak of violence on the East Coast, he expects a hoax, a cult, or a killer hiding behind a legend.

What he finds is worse.

Because the Jersey Devil isn’t just hunting. It’s testing boundaries, learning what people will believe, what they’ll ignore, and how easily panic can be managed… if someone is managing it.

As the Pine Barrens close in and the evidence turns impossible, Zack realizes this case is connected to something larger: patterns he’s seen before, files that disappear, witnesses who don’t stay witnesses for long.

And if he can’t expose the truth in time, the next incident won’t be contained.

Start the Black Atlas series with The Yeti, then continue the adventure with The Jersey Devil.
