Part of Krewe of Hunters, book 22
First published 2017
Vickie Preston watches her friend Alex Maple disappear after surviving a brutal assault in Boston. Someone is attacking random people across the city, leaving behind notes that quote old warnings about witchcraft. Vickie experiences violent visions that bleed into her daily life as the attacks multiply. She believes a cult has taken Alex for dark purposes, and the evidence points to members willing to die rather than face capture. Special Agent Griffin Pryce leads the FBI's Krewe of Hunters unit in pursuing the case. Vickie and Griffin navigate their growing romantic feelings while tracking leads into the Massachusetts wilderness. The investigation reveals they are hunting a serial killer connected to an awakening ancient evil. Vickie must use her psychic abilities to locate Alex before the cult completes its deadly ritual.
