The Darkest Place

It is a winter of record cold, and the dead bodies of young men are being found adrift in the frigid waters surrounding the trendy summer town of Southampton, New York. Though officially the deaths have been ruled suicides, the local authorities are secretly scrambling for the identity of a cunning killer they have nicknamed “John the Baptist.” In their sights is Deacon Kane, a troubled college professor whose own teenage son drowned in a tragic accident two years before. Quickly realizing the only hope of clearing his name is to join forces with a trio of private investigators—each one more mysterious than the other—Kane plunges blindly into a manhunt that will ultimately bring him face to face with an evil that appears to have risen straight from his own tortured nightmares…an evil that dwells closer than he could have ever realized…an evil, should Kane make one wrong move, that will all too easily consume him.
