The Red Man
by JuCoby Johnson

Have you ever been so lonely you could just…? Jacqueline has. That is until her estranged twin brother, Jackie, turns up one night at her shack in the Florida swamp. But Jackie’s brought home more than Jacqueline bargained for. Something is following him—and now it’s after her, too. The Red Man is a Southern Gothic thriller and love story that asks how far we’ll go to escape our past.
