Nightwalker

Description

For some time, rumors have circulated that the lodge occupies the site of an old Indian graveyard. According to Cherokee legend, such sacrilege is bound to have unpleasant repercussions. When Thorton is found dead in the front seat of a car belonging to one of the lodge staff, the lodge's Indian employees are sure the death is the work of a night walker, a Cherokee witch. To keep half the lodge's work force from walking out, Thornton's mother calls in an old Cherokee medicine man to drive away the night walker. Meanwhile, Mitch concentrates on the human suspects – and he has plenty of disgruntled employees, bitter family members, a young wife trapped in an extramarital affair, a young husband bent on revenge. When a second victim is found, it becomes obvious that one of these people knew too much. Adding to the pressure, Mitch must also handle the problems of an understaffed police department, an angry teenage daughter, and a lover who is less than satisfied with their relationship.
