Steve Alten "The Loch"

Laugh if you will, but the Loch Ness monster may be real, says thriller writer Steve Alten, who claims his new book The Loch is based on the latest scientific findings. The way Alten has crafted his story, the hunt for the monster -- which is nothing like what pop culture would have you believe it is -- holds another mystery, too, as a man searches for the truth about the murder his father stands accused of.
