Virgil Flowers is a Satate Police Detective called in to investigate a murder of a farmer. As I read the first 50 pages of the book there were now 4 murders to investigate. Virgil discovered a link between the 4 murders and it was that everyone belonged to a cult. He digs deeper and discovers that the cult conceals a widespread of child abuse. They make an arrest and start braking the case. The children give a very graphic detail of who placed what body part into which juvevile. Clever investagation drives Virgil to solve the cases and arrest most of the members of the cult/
