Wicked Walter: Book One

Some monsters don’t hide in the dark. They move in next door.

Widowed and desperate for peace, expat Josh Geary retreats to Colombia’s lush Cortés Valley to heal his shattered life. With only his pets and a handful of eccentric neighbors for company, the solitude feels like salvation—until an American missionary arrives.

Walter Parrish claims he’s come to save souls. But Josh feels watched.

When a local resident vanishes, paranoia creeps in. After a series of heinous incidents, Josh realizes Walter’s righteous facade may hide something dark—and deadly. Teaming up with his sharp-witted friend Delia, Josh delves into Walter’s past, uncovering a history of manipulation, violence, and spiritual corruption.

As grief fuels dark impulses and tension spirals toward violence, Josh must decide how far he’s willing to go to protect what little he has left.

Wicked Walter is a chilling psychological thriller about deception, grief, and the terrifying truth that evil doesn’t always announce itself—it smiles, knocks, and asks to come inside.
