Act I of an intriguing three-part mystery-suspense series commences. The curtain rises during a warm late-August afternoon at a remote campground in the mountains of Montana: JIM HOLBER is in a drunken rage. He's waiting for his wife to arrive for a vicious beating - like he's given her on so many prior occasions. He paces the front room of their vacation cabin. Jealousy spurs his imagination. He's dead certain in his demented alcoholic mind that she's a promiscuous slut, a terrible mother for their two daughters. When she arrives from her shopping trip, he intends to straighten her out - again - and this time he'll give her something to remember. LYNN HOLBER has made a terrible mistake - she married a violent, profane, cruel man who has made her very existence a living Hell. She's endured thirteen years of beatings and emotional abuse, but finally finds the courage to contact the police and a lawyer in order to escape her tormentor. Her repeated calls to the cops at last put Jim into jail with a six-month sentence. Now in his cell, Holber vows to destroy this woman who slipped from his control and did the unthinkable - after divorcing him she took sole custody of their daughters. The idea of hiring someone to have her killed, or just doing it himself, becomes his obsession. But, he has a second, much darker, obsession - a sexual fixation on his older daughter, AMY, who is only thirteen years old. In jail, now, he's urgently looking for someone to murder his ex wife. STEVE JAMESON, a tough, street-wise prisoner who befriends Holber while the two are in jail together, agrees to consider killing Lynn, for a price. But after his release from custody, he goes directly to the police and tells Sheriff's Detective J.D. WELCH exactly what Jim Holber has in store for the unsuspecting woman. With the lives of Lynn and her two daughters at stake, the detective must work quickly. It's a race against time to gather enough evidence and leap a series of legal hurdles that will get Holber into a Court of Law. Can he get it all done in time to save Lynn from the man who is intent on her destruction? Based on a real criminal case and written by a former cop, A Dark Obsession Times 2 combines all the elements necessary for an entertaining rainy Sunday afternoon read: Crime, violence, conspiracy, intrigue, treachery, jealousy, a glimpse inside the dark world of jails and prisons, an intense true-to-life police investigation - and it's all capped off by a Courtroom drama.
