E. R. Bills Books

On February 2, 1963, a tanker with thirty-nine men aboard departed Beaumont and never returned. In the mid-spring of 1882, Billy the Kid's friend, foe, and equal escaped Huntsville Penitentiary and vanished. On December 9, 1961, a young boy in Wichita Falls disappeared without a trace. On November 18, 1936, a father and son were swallowed by a "Walled Kingdom." On December 23, 1974, three girls went to a Fort Worth mall and were never seen or heard from again. This collection explores twenty baffling disappearances that investigators have studied for decades, to no avail. Homicide, patricide, filicide, genocide, devil worship, the Devil's Triangle, the Devil's River, the assassination of JFK, UFO abductions, legal limbo-- oblivion. Award-winning author E.R. Bills drags the facts of these mystifying cases back from the void. --page [4] of cover.

A bizarre death perplexes an East Texas sheriff. The investigation takes a personal turn. A string of local monstrosities hold the key, but does the sheriff really want to unlock the truth? It's dark on the other side of that door--monsters dwell there. What if some of them are his forebears? It's not always the devil that lies in the details. Sometimes it's ignorance, prejudice and fear. Sometimes it's your friends and neighbors. Sometimes it's the town you grew up in.
