Creature of Secret Sorrows: A Cadence Mystery

With All Hallows' Eve just days away, Randy Nichols, retired geology professor, goes missing on a crisp, sunny afternoon in Cadence, New York. Desperate to find him, Marian Greene happens upon a young Black man who was horrifically murdered. Agents from the FBI Hate Crimes division storm in to take over the investigation, leaving Police Chief George Powless even more determined to solve the crime.
Then, real terror visits. A cursed object alters perceptions of familiar places and faces. A mythical creature taunts police officers. And the past comes calling for justice, leaving the tightknit community of Cadence splintered by fear and suspicion.
When more people go missing and another body is discovered, the only thing left behind is unanswered questions. Who was the young man who died so violently? And who among them is harboring secrets and dispensing a depraved retribution?
