SMALL SACRIFICE?

When former FBI agent Gregor Demarkian arrives in Bellerton, North Carolina, the town is reeling from the impact of a violent hurricane--and something infinitely more terrifying. An infant has been found murdered on the grounds of Bonaventura, a controversial retreat for gay women that has become the subject of endless rumors of Satan worship and other godless goings-on. Ginny Marsh swears she saw two of the camp't women kill her daughter in a ritual sacrifice. But to the police, it's Ginny herself who is the prime suspect. Now, as Gregor Demarkian sets out to discover the truth, he'll find himself facing a trial by fire in a town whose troubles are only beginning. For it looks like more than one person in Bellerton has a motive for murder....

"CLASSIC MYTERIES ARE BACK IN VOGUE, AND JANE HADDAM'S...GREGOR DEMARKIAN SERIES IS ONE OF THE FINEST."
