A man goes through the four seasons of his life much too quickly. The hustle and frantic pace of life blinds him to the wonders that God puts before him daily-the butterfly that alights upon a small flower completely missed, the sunrises and sunsets without fanfare as he toils to his eventual end. If he is lucky, he realizes the folly of his ways and slows to see the beauty before him, appreciate the little things, the quiet things, the ripple on the pond, stopping to breathe and reflect, and perhaps to listen to the soft sounds of God's great work. I have entered the sunset of my life. My time on earth ordained by God wanes like the setting of the sun, and as the brilliant colors light the sky, so does my love for what God has given me through my many years. To see the singular snowflake, hear the cry of the chickadee, I invite you to come with me as my stories tell of my journey to this moment in time. Sit back in a quiet spot, open this book, feel its pages, and see what I have seen. May God bless and keep you and, perhaps, slow you down.

Dr. Trevor Knight wishes only to put the madness of Richard Ignatius Palmer behind him and settle into the normalcy of the average man. However, Dr. Trevor Knight is far from average-a chess master in a chess game, between evil and good. The recent horror of StoryTown Cemetery still haunts his dreams. However, it appears that Mr. Richard Ignatius Palmer has left a legacy to our intrepid crime solver that is not easily managed, a fortune born from evil, now used for good. Evil is not confined to the West Coast, and when the phone rings with Detective Darbo Larson of the New York City Police Department on the other end, it soon catapults our crime-fighting psychiatrist into the ancient world of sacrificial appeasement. Legacies have responsibilities, and finding truth sometimes means people close to you are put into imminent danger. Friends die. The hunger of evil is un-appeased. Evil feeds on all levels of society. In the cold mean streets and abandoned places of the Bronx, the harvest for the present evil is bountiful. The homeless and destitute have no place to hide from it. It penetrates the dark and hidden places, places only the forgotten know. Pray, Dr. Knight, and do not lose heart.

Dr. Trevor Allen Knight, fresh from the adventures in Salem, Massachusetts, is heading back to California for some well-deserved rest. Perhaps to renew an old flame with Susan Hoo. The White Witch of Salem has been vanquished. Alas, there is more. There is always more, isn't there, Dr. Knight? Rest is not for the weary or the timid. His plans are put on hold at the request of the sheriff of Clay County, Texas. The Texas Hill Country calls. The demon, vanquished at StoryTown, has been summoned again, from the pit. For a bargain made in hell. An ancient parchment points the way. The Cross of de Vico, no longer at his side. How to fit in, that is the question. Who or what is killing those innocent girls? The signs upon their foreheads, what purpose have they? Dr. Knight, you have been drawn once again into the shadows of darkness. What help, if any, will his grandmother be? What insight can she share? Hoss and Skeeter, allies in the quest to vanquish the foe. Saddle up, Dr. Knight.
