About this ebook
The inhabitants of a small rural town were oblivious to an imminent horror that was thrust upon them when a local man was struck with bubonic plague. In a race to discover the source of the outbreak, police and forensic scientists attempt to piece together fragments of crucial information teased out of a reluctant population of errant teenagers, struggling single parents, and drug dealers.
Meanwhile, far back in the seventeenth century, the fate of a young girl is corrupted by a single man who is degrading and oppressive to his family and servants alike, and her strength and determination culminate in his demise and her redemption. The two tales are linked by one fatal artifact that resists the passing years and traverses time and corruption to bring terror to the community.
How long will it take to identify the link, and how many will die before it is revealed?
