Publisher's Synopsis
Weston Applegate is a 23 year-old farm boy who has served two tours in the Army as a medic in Afghanistan. He is constantly haunted by nightmares of all the bloodshed inflicted on both the military and civilians. To add to his misery, he has come home to help his fraternal twin sister, Willow, care for their failing grandfather, Hiram. Hiram is stricken with Malaria and often speaks of 'eyes, eerie eyes, eerie eyes of cat-r-eye.' He also tells Weston and Willow that they must hide because 'they' are coming. Willow and Weston dismiss Hiram's outbursts as the ravings of a sick man. The story picks up dramatically when Nurse Amy Fletcher comes on the scene. She tells Weston and Willow of a strange encounter she has in the hospital morgue. Amy's brother, Carl, comes on the scene a short while later. Weston, Willow, Amy, and Carl soon find themselves to be unwitting pawns in a Herculean struggle between good and evil. Who is behind all this? What are the motives? Where is this all heading? And why does it involve Weston and company?
