In the town of Redloch, Tennessee, a killer lurks. Agent Eve James has long followed the trail of Sebastian Ryker, and when the death toll rises in Redloch, his name is at the top of the list.

Racing against the clock to capture the man who has plagued her career, Eve expects it won’t come easy, but small towns talk, and Eve is ready to listen. Redloch, however, is far from the small town she pictured.

No one has seen Sebastian Ryker, lips are sealed, and no one knows anything about the murders. Separated into some sort of warped Utopia, Redloch is filled with secrets hidden behind smiles and warm welcomes.

Eve struggles to understand the town’s motives, and whispers of a curse and of the Night Hag make her question her training, her beliefs, and her safety. Is everyone haunted by this alleged curse? Has Sebastian twisted this town into a spiral of madness with his cunning charm and demented games?There is a Chinese proverb that says, “It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.

”Eve came to find Sebastian Ryker, but the only one who should be hiding is her. The hunter becomes the hunted, and Eve must bring it all to light before the darkness consumes her forever.
