The Watcher on the Hill

About the book

When rookie cop Grady O’Neil discovers a brutally mutilated boy at the foot of a Civil War statue in Jacobi Park, he’s warned to keep his mouth shut—or lose everything. The town’s most powerful family is already pulling strings, burying the truth beneath threats, lies, and generations of dark secrets.

But the whispers won’t stay buried.

Teenagers hear metal clanking in the night. A girl sees a soldier in her mirror. And those who dare approach the statue on the Round Top feel something watching them… something that moves.

As Grady digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling legend: a disgraced officer executed for his crimes, whose final curse may never have died. Now, the dead don’t rest—and the living are being marked.

Because the statue isn’t just a monument.

It’s a prison.

And something inside is waking.

The Watcher on the Hill is a gripping paranormal thriller about power, silence, and a curse that feeds on fear—perfect for readers who crave small-town secrets, creeping dread, and a terror that lingers long after the last page.
