Welcome to Holden, NH. Population: 387, and declining. Fast. Sheriff Andrew "Mac" MacGregor has a real mess on his hands. A demented serial killer is stalking the once-idyllic streets of his home town. The body count is climbing, but the murderer has left no clues, only a rising tide of violent death. The new county coroner, no stranger to odd occurrences, suggests there may be more to these murders than a mere psychopathic rampageÑand he'd be right! For Mac little realizes that the perpetrator of this hideous carnage is an old enemy, who has returned to Holden to wreak his unearthly vengeance upon those who wronged him. The key to the mystery lies deep in Mac's past. But can he uncover it in time to prevent not only the town he loves, but the entire world, from being drowned in an ocean of blood?
