The Devil Tree

Based on the Port St. Lucie Legend, this paranormal thriller novel revives a serial killer with “crackling dialogue . . . [and] a Satanic aura” (Hunter Shea, author of Tortures of the Damnedand The Montauk Monster).

Back in the 1970s, a series of bizarre incidents occurred at what has since been known as “The Devil Tree.” Beneath this ancient denizen, evil was wrought by a sick serial killer, calling upon forces most sinister and dark. People were hung there . . . and bodies buried there . . . exhumed by the police. Overcome by superstition, some tried to cut down the tree, to no avail. Since then, it has stood in a remote section of a local park—left to its own devices—quiet in its eerie repose—until now!

Psychological-thriller author Keith Rommel has imagined the whole tale anew. He’s brought the tree to life and retold the tale with gory detail only possible in fiction. Action-packed, with spine-tingling detail, this thriller is beyond parallel in the revelations it uncovers . . . In the expert hands of Rommel, the explanation of what may have really been said—what may have really happened—under Port St. Lucie’s “Devil Tree” is chilling . . .
