Twenty-five years ago, Paul Adams was connected to a gruesome, ritualistic murder. Now he visits his dying mother, who is reliving that nightmare on her deathbed. She warns him he shouldn't be here and shouts ominously of first-hand knowledge of the murder. A hospice patient with dementia, she's not a reliable narrator, but then again, neither is Paul Adams.
Alex North weaves past and present in a tale of reckoning with our worst nightmares. Detective Amanda Beck, who can't help but be emotionally attached to solving the murder of a child, navigates a life and career marked by loss. Whatever--or whoever--was haunting Gritten twenty-five years ago is back.
