    About this ebook

    It hungers...

    Decades before Mercury Hale takes up the pulsar stave, U.S. Army veteran Alonzo Vine trades in his police detective's badge to search the shadows for fiends endangering this world.

    When he receives a cryptic warning on a crumpled postcard, Alonzo is drawn to a remote island where mysterious slayings plague the weary townspeople, his only ally a young woman whose visions threaten her sanity...
