ALONE IN THE DARK: THE NEW NIGHTMARE
Introduction
Edward Carnby, private eye of the paranormal, is back! Carnby's best friend, Charles Fiske, has been found dead near Shadow Island, a mysterious place situated off the coast of Maine.
Carnby's initial investigation leads him to Frederick Johnson. Johnson reveals that Fiske was looking for three ancient Indian tablets and asks Carnby to take up the search.
Johnson introduces him to Aline Cedrac, a young university lecturer, who specialises in ancient Indian languages. Their mission is to find the three mysterious and much sought after tablets, as they are engraved with inscriptions that have never been deciphered.
During the flight to the island, Carnby learns that, like him, Aline Cedrac has personal reasons for wanting to go to Shadow Island. As the pilot prepares to land, the seaplane suddenly runs into difficulties, caught in a strange unknown force.
Carnby and Aline have only one way out – parachuting to safety. While Carnby lands safely in an abandoned yard, Aline narrowly misses serious injury landing on the roof of a gloomy mansion.
