In this second Matt O'Malley mystery novel, "Matt has returned to upstate New York from his home in Florida only to learn that Erin, the beautiful young daughter of his friend, has disappeared. Carol has gone to the police, who believe she is overreacting; and with no evidence of foul play they refuse to look for Erin. In desperation, Carol turns to Matt O'Malley for help, but he has problems of his own. Almost since he arrived back in the Adirondacks the Men of Islam have been seeking their revenge on him. When Matt O'Malley starts asking questions about Erin's whereabouts he runs into the ominously menacing Sergei Popov, who drives Matt to commit acts that just days before he would not have believed himself capable of as he uncovers unspeakably horrifying crimes playing out in one of the remote Adirondack Great Camps... Matt must test the limits of his own mental and physical endurance as well as the strength of some of his closest friendships since he will do whatever he has to do to save Erin from a ghastly fate." -- cover.
