Gabe
Petersen can't cross the borders of his rural Tri-county
area—even the thought triggers the erratic cardiac
rhythm and breathing difficulty of a panic attack. And he
doesn't know why. His memories stop at twelve years of age,
his early years nonexistent.
But when a strange little man arrives in town, Gabe feels
an unsettling sense of familiarity. Then families begin to
die, all because of bizarre natural disasters, and the events
trigger glimmers of memory for Gabe. Memories pointing to
Thibideaux, the strange little man.
Returning memories
open a door on rusty hinges in Gabe's mind. Behind the door
is a catatonic Catholic priest who fled
the area years ago after he was found sitting on the church
altar surrounded by the slaughtered remains of several animals.
And Gabe now remembers … he was there. Along with Thibideaux.
The past explodes,
revealing Gabe's deepest fears. This time, his family is
Thibideaux's prize. And Gabe's only weapon to
defend them is his mind …
