BEWARE, THE HOLLOW-EYED DOGDennis Lynch is a desperate, lonely man. After his wife and daughter leave him, he moves from Milwaukee to Brandon Falls to end his own life. But then the police come asking questions; questions about murders in Milwaukee. That is when Dennis Lynch learns he is a serial killer. A man with a long history of mental disease and severe sleepwalking episodes, the kind that would allow a man to murder someone and wake up in the morning without recollection of it, Lynch accepts his guilt readily. He welcomes the opportunity to turn his lonely desperation into a legacy by carrying on his murders in tiny Brandon Falls.Sixteen year old Isaiah Asner senses the presence of evil in town, and tries to warn Police Chief Ed Slade. His visions of death and the hollow-eyed dog that haunt his dreams drive a wedge between Ed and Isaiah's mother, Becky; a wedge between Ed and his best friend, Detective Al Jameson; a wedge between everyone that Ed could rely on to help him unravel the odd and deadly swath perpetrated by Lynch. Elijah Jackson is also new in town. A convicted killer from Chicago, Eli moved across the hall from Dennis Lynch to start his own new life. When Lynch shows up covered in blood one night, Eli questions just how innocent his neighbor is. Untrusting of the police, Eli embarks on his own quest to bring Lynch to justice. Together, Ed and Isaiah work to answer the puzzling questions and identify the murderer in their midst before the next one occurs. Lynch's fragile mental health deteriorates until he finally targets the one woman that Isaiah and Ed care the most about, Becky Asner.
