Return of the Horla

A Washington lobbyist battles a supernatural force that exacerbates his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Adam Carter has begun checking the locks on his doors again and again, never quite satisfied that everything is in order. These "checking" behaviors, a sometimes annoyance, now threaten to debilitate him. So Adam pays a visit to his old psychiatrist, Doctor Rogoff.

Adam knows the true cause of his problems is not to be found in a diagnostic manual, but in the Horla, a creature straight out of a Guy de Maupassant tale. Now the Horla is stronger, more active than ever before and intent on destroying Adam's world. With the help of a bright and attractive woman, and a Doberman named Willie, Adam plans for a final confrontation to vanquish the Horla and regain his life. This psychological thriller is perfect for readers interested in mental health, the supernatural, and political intrigue.
