Book Synopsis
"A FINELY CRAFTED SUPERNATURAL CRIME THRILLER... WITH RAZOR SHARP PROSE AND A BRISTLING ATMOSPHERE." -The BookLife PrizeA missing girl whose bloodline traces back to the Salem Witch Trials is the perfect prize for a demonic cult operating on the fringes of Salem's witchcraft underground.
Desperate to find his missing niece, a Boston police captain loans his best detective, Ray Hanley, to Salem PD to lead the investigation. But tensions flare when Ray is partnered with Elena Martinez, a rookie detective who resents his intrusion on her first big case.
As they navigate a treacherous landscape of occult rituals and black magic, the horrific discovery of additional victims deepens the mystery and hints at a more sinister plot... one involving a powerful enemy whose secrets include ancestral ties, malevolent forces, and the fulfillment of a dark prophecy.
As the days count down to Halloween, the race is on to stop an unspeakable evil from plunging Salem into eternal darkness.

From the multi-award-winning author of THE ART OF DYING
Although THE BURYING POINT picks up where THE ART OF DYING leaves off, it follows Detective Ray Hanley on a brand new case that can be read as a standalone novel.
