Salemβs chief of police, John Rafferty, now married to gifted lace reader Towner Whitney, investigates a 25- year-old triple homicide dubbed βThe Goddess Murders,β in which three young women, all descended from accused Salem witches, were slashed one Halloween night. Aided by Callie Cahill, the daughter of one of the victims who has returned to town, Rafferty begins to uncover a dark chapter in Salemβs past. Callie, who has always been gifted with premonitions, begins to struggle with visions she doesnβt quite understand and an attraction to a man who has unknown connections to her motherβs murder. Neither believes that the main suspect, Rose Whelan, respected local historian and sometime-aunt to Callie, is guilty of murder or witchcraft. But exonerating Rose might mean crossing paths with a dangerous force. Were the women victims of an all-too-human vengeance, or was the devil raised in Salem that night? And if they cannot discover what truly happened, will evil rise again?
