“For nearly thirty years, Haunted Hill’s ghost roamed within the periphery of his execution. He preached to his imagined congregation, continuously, honing an edge to the same insane sermons, day after endless day of his eternity.” It's 1982, and the body of a brutally murdered young girl is found on a hillside embankment on the edge of the Maple Ridge Cemetery. Detective Ernie Capella is in charge of the case, vowing to bring the killer to justice. When a lack of evidence threatens to stall the investigation, he reluctantly accepts help from a couple of psychically gifted individuals. However, there's a powerful and evil entity that's determined to stop their effort. The Guardian of Haunted Hill is a paranormal horror story by Bob Behrent.

The Guardian of Haunted Hill: A Paranormal Murder Mystery is an intriguing read and the crimes strike jarring notes in one's mind. Interlaced with facts from an actual murder case and documented paranormal incidents, Bob Behrent delivers a compelling tale. Key protagonists Detective Ernie Capella, former Marines and best friends Rob Rinker and Mike Burckhardt, including psychic Marilyn Edelstein, unite to solve the crime. Their combined effort is easy to root for and proves essential to reveal what they are really up against. The plot twist is surprising and unpredictable - several red herrings will trick even the most seasoned mystery readers. All in all, Bob Behrent's creepy, occult-tinged horror story is quite a read, one that is filled with instances of gratifying vengeance.
