In this bare-knuckled adrenaline ride from
New York Times bestselling author Erica Spindler, Alex
Clarkson’s worst nightmares are about to come
true…
A sinister, hooded figure…
When
Alexandra Clarkson starts having terrifying visions filled
with blood and ceremonial images, she tries to find a
rational explanation – maybe her mind is playing tricks on
her, resurrecting creepy tableaux from her research on
religious ceremonies and sects. But when Alex’s mother,
Patsy, commits suicide without leaving behind any
information, Alex is left wondering: could she be haunted by
something from the childhood she doesn’t
remember?
Naked, writhing
bodies…
Detective Daniel Reed was the last person
to speak to Patsy. What he reveals to Alex is shocking.
Twenty-five years earlier, Patsy was married to Harlan
Sommer, one of Sonoma County’s most prominent vintners, when
their infant son disappeared without a trace. The loss
destroyed the Sommers’ marriage, causing Patsy to leave and
take Alex with her.
A dead child…
Called
on to investigate the identity of a baby’s remains unearthed
in a Sonoma vineyard, Reed had picked up a trail that led
him to Patsy in San Francisco. Now Reed and Alex both
wonder if the cold bones could be her baby brother Dylan,
and Alex decides to accompany Reed back to Sonoma for the
investigation. No sooner does she arrive, however, than she
is drawn deep into the search for a twisted killer…
