A young girl vanishes in broad daylight on her tenth birthday. Her father, FBI Special Agent Phil Preston of the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team, devotes his life to finding her and discovers a pattern in a recent string of abductions. Dr. Les Grant leads a group of graduate students into the Wyoming wilderness in search of an unidentified Native American medicine wheel photographed by an anonymous hiker. Instead, they stumble upon a macabre tableau of suffering. Fremont County Sheriff Keith Dandridge finds himself right at the heart of the mystery when twenty-seven bodies are disinterred in the Wind River Range at the westernmost edge of his jurisdiction, with the promise of more to come. All the while, an unknown evil is summoning the men to its killing grounds, where the remains of the lost innocents are left to rot...and a fate far worse than death awaits them.… (más)

Darkfuse is putting out some great horror fiction and McBride is one of their regular (and very talented) writers.

A pitch dark supernatural crime story about an FBI agent (Preston) and a sheriff (Dandridge) joined by the pursuit of the supernatural killer who has abducted both of their daughters. While it is too late to rescue Preston's daughter, who was abducted many years before, they may have time to save Dandridge's girl from a similar fate.

The story of a manhunt stalking a generations old serial killer with demonic and ritualistic tendencies who clearly is more (or perhaps less) than human, this novel is a very rough ride as McBride pulls no punches in spinning this tale. You won't finish this story without flinching several times and you will most likely need time to shake the images from your head.

Strong stuff.

My second book by McBride. I read the Darkfuse novella "Snowblind" and enjoyed that one very much as well. McBride is good and I will be reading more.

4 1/2 stars. ( )

4.5 stars!

This audiobook was brutal! Seriously, when I say that, you know it's brutal.

Setting that aside for a moment, this book was extremely well written. There were a few times I wished that I could highlight certain passages. I also thought the narrator was good, though I was not fond of the voice he used for the first villain. Other than that I enjoyed his performance.

Back to the brutality, it's not torture porn, (because I mostly avoid that type of thing), but brutal as far as children are concerned. Violence towards children is very hard to read about and, as it turns out, it's even harder to listen to. A few times I was extremely surprised that the scenes turned out the way they did. Seriously, there were some jaw dropping moments.

In spite of the sometimes difficult scenes, the narrative was fantastic. As far as villains go, this book contains the best I've seen in quite some time.

To summarize, this audiobook was very, very good. It's brutal, but well written and fast paced. The author deftly handles a few different viewpoints and the reader is compelled to finish the book and finish it NOW. I think this book would work well in print or as I "read" it, in audio.

Highly recommended to horror readers that can handle this type of violence.

*Michael McBride provided a free copy of the audiobook through Audible in exchange for an honest review. This is it.*
