This quick little tale starts out with a punch in the gut as we join Agent Walter Andrews at a disturbing crime scene. A young girl has been killed, mutilated, and left in a local park. As Agent Andrews heads back to the office to start working his case, a naked woman covered in blood comes running out of the woods.
What follows is ninety-ish pages of Agent Andrews getting in way over his head as he tracks down the group responsible for the kidnap and torture of this woman, and for the death of little Candace Blake. Much blood will be shed and more lives will be lost as Andrews follows the trail of the diabolic Alastair Moon and his Satanic cult, who are intent on bringing about the end of the world.
It's fast-paced, it's bloody, it's stomach-turning, it's awful, and it's a darn good little novella. In the note at the end of the book, Semones tells us that this story is meant to be a prequel to the novel 'Hell Comes to Jericho', but it's been nine years and said novel has not appeared. Here's hoping he gets around to finishing it, because I'd certainly like to see where Agent Andrews ends up.
