Bestselling author Adam Mansbach delivers a high-concept supernatural thriller, mixing horror, action, and suspense into a blockbuster summer read.
On both sides of the border, girls are going missing. Then, later, other bodies surface, and a small-town police chief faces an investigation worse than any he's ever seen before. Kidnapped teen Sherry Nicholls manages to escape from a maniacal cult, but freeing herself was the easiest part.. Meanwhile, in a Mexican jail, unjustly-imprisoned estranged father Galvan accepts a devil's bargain--transport a sinister package for the prison's infamous Old Man across the border in 24 hours. If he can do so, he'll be free and able to regain custody of his daughter. But there are more than coyotes in the desert, and as ancient evils resurface, everyone must face their deepest terrors.
