Publisher's Synopsis
The Medusa-the legendary creature whose eyes can turn a person to stone-has blended in with the affluent residents of New York's Upper West Side. Her adopted infant son has a flawed heart and requires a life-threatening operation. Young Reyes survives the risky procedure but the Medusa is haunted by bizarre apparitions portending a tragic showdown. The Medusa's past is about to catch up with her. Among her many victims was Paris, the conqueror of Crete. But unlike the other petrified corpses the Medusa has left in her wake, the statue of Paris is more than just inert marble. The Medusa is forced to confront her own creation-and the ghosts she thought were long buried.
