About Muzzle the Black Dog: After a mysterious stranger appears at the door of his isolated North Carolina cabin, Jack Pate’s life is forever changed. How could this stranger have ended up 11.3 miles from anything remotely resembling civilization---and more importantly, why?

When the stranger’s cryptic message sets off an eerie chain of events, Jack is plunged headfirst into a harrowing journey that will uncover the true meaning of his own existence. But when a series of unexplained fires threaten to consume all he holds dear, Jack is forced to confront his deepest fears and question everything he thought he knew about himself. Jack’s quest for answers leads him to the brink of sanity, and he is thrust on a cataclysmic collision course with a dark and powerful force that has been lurking in the shadows.

Expect the unexpected in this blockbuster thriller that probes the darkest recesses of the mind, the inextricable link between past and present, and what happens when a dark secret finally comes to light.

A powerful novel that grabs readers from the start and does not let go until the final page is turned, Muzzle the Black Dog is a stunning, suspenseful, sensational work. Replete with extraordinary realism, masterful plotting, and characters that spring to life from within the pages of this unputdownable page turner, Muzzle the Black Dog sizzles. With his keen eye for detail, pulse-quickening plotting, and commanding ability to build and sustain suspense, novelist Mike Cobb earns himself a spot among today’s finest thriller writers with this brilliantly rendered, compulsively readable tale. Teeming with twists, tantalizing turns, and escalating tension, Muzzle the Black Dog is disquieting, deftly told, and disarming.
