In Tucson, twenty years ago, a psychopath named Andrew Carlisle brought blood and terror into the home of Diana Ladd Walker and her family. When Carlisle died in prison, Diana and her husband, ex-county sheriff Brandon Walker, believed their long nightmare was finally over. They were wrong. Their beloved adopted daughter Lani has vanished. A serial killer is dead, but his malevolence lives on in another. And now the fiend holds Lani's innocent life in his eager hands. Before he snuffs it out completely, he intends to make his young prisoner, and more importantly, her parents suffer a slow and agonizing torture. For only this will avenge his friend and mentor, his dark god, Andrew Carlisle.
