"Someone, or something, is killing people in the rural areas of counties north and west of Austin. Brains are being removed, and bodies mutilated. The few witnesses, including a deputy sheriff, who encountered the killers and survived insist they are zombies, the living dead. An ancient curse also claims zombies will return, to take revenge for a long ago massacre. Texas Ranger Jim Blawcyzk knows there are no such creatures as zombies. But who are the twisted psychopaths behind the killings? What are their motives? Jim himself nearly falls victim to them. A fellow Ranger does. When state and county parks become the prime killing grounds, Jim knows he has to stop them, and fast, before they strike again. Can he find and bring in the responsible parties before panic sets in among the residents of central Texas? Following a hunch where the killers will strike next, Jim sets a trap. Will they spring it, or escape to kill again?"--,Provided by publisher
