Twisted secrets. A trail of bloody bodies. And a town with hatred in its heart...
Marcus isn't brave like his father, a detective on the hunt for a serial killer terrorizing the small town of Greystone. If he were, he'd be able to talk to his dad about how much they both miss his mother. Instead, though, Marcus fakes a smile. All he wants is to survive high school and maybe make a few friends along the way.
But evil isn't interested in what Marcus wants. The bodies are piling up, and everyone Marcus meets has a motive for holding the knife. When Marcus's new best friend Cole vanishes,
Marcus is convinced he's still alive... even though Cole's ghost is following him around. If Marcus wants to save Cole, he's going to have to face down every demon in Greystone-including the ones in his own heart.
