Kiss The Panther

About the Book

I looked up at the Panther hovering over me, blond hair flying, face grimacing with pain. Then I saw it! those long, sharp teeth looked bigger than ever, and they were aimed at my face. I kicked at the Panther's legs and they buckled, but the hideous animal skull swung high above my head.

"Kiss the Panther, O'Neill!" my enemy shouted.

Ron O'Neill just wants to write fiction and enjoy the good life in Florida. A sadistic serial killer shatters his peaceful existence by leaving quotes from Ron's books at scenes of horrific murders.

O'Neill and his policeman friend Trent Gable set out to snare the killer, whose twisted mind takes on the identity of the Florida Panther. Their search takes them into homeless camps, deep into the Everglades, and into the habitat of the wild panthers. Ron's friends and family are terrorized by the killer as the writer and his friend close in. O'Neill's life is crumbling, and he casts a suspicious eye at every person he meets.

The fast-paced action climaxes when Ron O'Neill at last learns the true identity of the Panther in a confrontation that threatens to bring his own life to a painful end.
