In 1693, the settlers on the small Maine island of
Sanctuary were betrayed to their enemies and slaughtered.
Since then, the island has known three hundred years of
peace.
Until now.
For men are descending on Sanctuary, their purpose to hunt
down and kill the wife of their leader and retrieve the
money that she stole from him. All that stands in their way
are a young rookie officer, Sharon Macy, and the island's
strange, troubled policeman, the giant known as Melancholy
Joe Dupree.
But Joe Dupree is no ordinary policeman. He is the guardian
of the island's secrets, the repository of its memories. He
knows that Sanctuary has been steeped in blood once; it
will tolerate the shedding of innocent blood no longer. Now
a band of killers is set to desecrate Sanctuary and unleash
the fury of its ghosts upon themselves and all who stand by
them.
