Two years ago, Claire Challis's four-year-old son disappeared without a trace. Now a neighbor's child has vanished from right outside of her apartment. A strange priest...an ancient church that seems to be the site of unspeakable rituals...a shadowy figure that seems to appear and disappear at will... Suddenly Claire finds herself at the center of a web of intrigue...and in fear for her life. Still, she is determined to learn the truth behind the abductions, and learn once and for all the fate of her missing son. What Claire cannot realize is that her quest may lead her not to the truth she seeks, but to a place of madness, horror, and condemnation beyond her wildest imaginings.
