Sara Linton, pediatrican and medical examiner in Heartsdale Georgia, knows only too well the horros that can hide behind closed doors in a small community. But when a Saturday night argument between teenagers at the local skating rink leads to death--and subsequent autopsy reveals evidence of ritualistic self-mutilation and long-term abuse--she realizes that true evil is closer than she imagined. Joining with her ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, and Detective Lena Adams, still traumatized by her brush with a manic, in an investigation that is frustrated at every turn--by the cold silence of the families and the children surrounding the slain girl.
