His heart is cold.  And the evil that has waited in the dark places of La Paloma, the evil of a terrible deed committed 100 years ago, now has Alex. And Alex has the memories of the dreadful injustice that cries out for revenge...

  • The Andersons left the town at the edge of the swamp long ago, meaning never to return.  There was something not quite right about Villejeune - something menacing and hostile, too malevolent to be natural.

Hoping that a change of scenery might help their troubled daughter, Mary and Ted Anderson have come back home to Villejeune. But something is there, waiting for them. Something evil.
