SCAVENGER
The new dark-suspense thriller
By David Morrell
(Sometimes the past is buried for a reason…)
He no longer called her by his dead wife’s name, even though the resemblance was strong enough to make his heart ache. Sometimes, when he woke and found her sitting next to his hospital bed, he thought he was hallucinating.
“What’s my name?” she asked.
“Amanda,” he was careful to answer.
“Excellent,” a doctor said. The watchful man never mentioned his specialty, but Balenger assumed he was a psychiatrist. “I think you’re ready to be released.” 
One year after narrowly escaping the horrific tortures of a deranged madman, Frank Balenger receives a brittle, faded invitation in the mail, bearing a two-cent stamp and postmarked 1899.
Welcome to SCAVENGER.
From multiple New York Times bestselling author David Morrell, comes a powerful, edgy, dark thriller by a master of the genre. In his blockbuster new novel, SCAVENGER, he takes us on a desperate high-tech scavenger hunt for a 100-year-old time capsule.
Balenger, the resolute but damaged hero of Morrell’s award-winning Creepers, now finds himself trapped in a nightmarish game of fear and death. To save himself and Amanda, the woman he will do anything to protect, he must play by the rules of a god-like Game Master with an obsession for unearthing the past. But sometimes the past is buried for a reason.
SCAVENGER is a brilliant, frightening hunter-hunted tale that layers modern technology over the dusty artifacts of earlier times. The result is a chilling palimpsest, one that contains the secret of survival or Balenger, Amanda, and a handful of unwilling players. As they race against the game’s clock to solve the puzzle of the time capsule, they discover that time is the true scavenger.
Morrell’s trademark action sequences are embedded with fascinating historical clues that make SCAVENGER a thrill-a-minute page turner as well as a mesmerizing literary experience.
