Publisher's summary

Just as their troubled marriage is reaching the breaking point, Ted and Janet Conway inherit a home that has been in the family for more than a century. Eager to make a new beginning, the Conways and their three children head for the promise of a better life in the small Louisiana town of St. Albans.

But within the long-abandoned, sprawling Victorian manse lies the dark history of the Conway name - a grim bloodline poisoned by suicide, strange disappearances, voodoo rituals, and rumors of murder.

The Conways know nothing of the soul-shattering secrets that, once revealed, will threaten to consume every living soul in their fiery wake. For with each generation of the Conway name comes a hellish day of reckoning.

Critic reviews

"Best-selling Gothic Suspense-meister John Saul is back with a gory tale of evil that is both extreme and entertaining." (Chicago Tribune)

The Right Hand of Evil

Not typical of John Saul at all, I was very disappointed. It continuously put me to sleep.

John Saul obsessions

John Saul is 1 out of the top 3 of my favourite authors. John Saul, Dean Koontz, AND Mark Tufo. I've noticed that Mr. Saul has a thing for schools and Catholics. don't get me wrong, I love his books. but sometimes it makes me think, what happened? anyways. this is another fantasticly hair raising book that he has created centered around a catholic school. if you're a catholic, don't take it personal, haha.

Jesus un Saul at his finest

It’s typical John Saul. Love the way he weaves his stories. They are creepy at best.
