Historical | Thriller Police Procedural
In 1893, a trail of ashen footprints leads Deputy Archie
Lean to the body of a murdered thief. The man’s exposed
flesh has been horribly burned and occult symbols mark the
nearby walls. Most troubling of all is what Lean witnessed
two days earlier: this same man being lowered into his
grave without a burn mark on him. Once again, the
Portland, Maine, police deputy must turn to the brilliant
criminalist Perceval Grey for help. Grey, a half-
Abenaki Indian detective, faces problems of his own after
agreeing to an elderly tycoon’s death-bed plea to find his
long-lost granddaughter. The dying man’s family is less
interested in the missing heiress than with the recent
theft of an obscure heirloom carved with curious symbols.
As the family’s shadowy history is revealed, the three
mysteries intersect to draw Lean and Grey into a maze of
murder, deceit, and revenge. Each deadly new clue points
toward an even greater puzzle—one that will pit Grey
against a devious murderer in a race to unlock an ancient
and mysterious power.
