Synopsis

"The flames took them all. They spared no one. From the circle of dancers, spinning in their dementia, to the crazed killer in the "dungeon" below, every man and woman in Concordia Sanitarium was burned alive. Over a century later, few know the story of the fire. The ruins of the Sanitarium stand isolated in the lonely Anza-Borrego Desert - until one gruesome murder after another rocks the nearby quiet community of Smoke Tree, California. A spirit has risen from the sand, an entity searching for a host to possess - a host with two strong hands."--Back cover.
