Rituals not properly completed for centuries are coming together. Nothing is what it seems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Nick Leatherman, his girlfriend Ruthie, and their buddies Flash and Weasel invade Shady Grove Cemetery for a \"ghost hunt\" on their way home from a concert, they are drawn into a web of darkness and intrigue that threatens to consume them. Nick and Ruthie witness a gruesome murder, and Nick's pocketknife shows up at the crime scene the next morning. Nick has had problems in the past, and Inspector Kendall Straker remembers. He remembers Ned Leatherman, Nick's alcoholic step-father as well, and he doesn't believe the boy is a killer. The problem is that the knife - emblazoned with the name of the band Maelstrom - is the only clue he has.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHorace Goldbough is the local pastor. He's built a huge following and a beautiful church, but there are things about the good reverend that the town doesn't know. In particular there is his relationship with a dark woman named Beauchane, and a certain book he keeps hidden from the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith local reporters, and a television talk-show host hounding his every step, Straker attempts to unravel the series of grisly killings terrorizing Lavender, while simultaneously protecting Nick. Nick, in the meantime, has begun his own investigation, feeling trapped and needing to clear his name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRitual words are being spoken, and a power that has been denied access to the Earth for centuries is poised to strike. The clock is ticking. Can Straker, Nick, and Maelstrom find the answer to the killings and put an end to them before the final ritual takes place, or will a horror be unleashed on the unsuspecting town of Lavender beyond their comprehension?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Niall Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950565009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950565009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Macabre Ink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"David Niall Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46110755913983,"sku":"9781950565009","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ed7970c-e55b-4cd7-ab56-b54fa1788d11.jpg?v=1725469682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maelstrom-david-niall-wilson-9781950565009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
