The Hush by John Hart

Johnny Merrimon lives deep in the swampy area known as the Hush that his family has owned for generations, given away for generations and now it is back in the family.  There is a supernatural force there that has been blamed for the strange things that happen there and most people fear the coldness and unexplained shiver at the back of their neck.  When it looks like Johnny might lose control of the Hush again he calls on his best childhood friend attorney Jack Cross for help.  Mysterious, slightly creepy and always a good read - John Hart's latest story involving Johnny and Jack will not disappoint.
