​THE WOODS OF HITCHCOCK, a thriller by Ann W. Jarvie is about Suzanne Clayborn, a psychically gifted southerner working in a Chicago ad agency, her dream job, which also conveniently takes her away from the ghosts of her past. But when she’s nearly killed in an explosion, she realizes all she truly wants is to return home to her horse, her eccentric family and the one place she feels safe: Hitchcock Woods, an enchanting equestrian forest preserve in South Carolina.
 
But instead of finding solace, Suzanne becomes entangled in a local murder spree, while stumbling upon a decades-old manuscript entitled The Secrets of Bears Repeating––written by her sage grandmother. As she explores it, Suzanne uncovers a tome of long-buried family haunts and ancient metaphysical secrets offering healing and inspiration. She also begins to understand the importance of her unwanted psychic abilities, especially after meeting a mysterious stranger in the Woods whose ominous riddle suggests others close to her will die within the week… 
 
Brimming with raw emotion and a trail of psychological twists and unexpected turns, a story of hope, creative vision and transformation begins to unfold within Suzanne. Yet with the riddle’s deadline looming, her present must ultimately collide with a violent past. Will she be able to solve her life’s riddle and fulfill her destiny? Or will she die along with those she loves?
