When a popular local girl's body is found brutally stabbed in the woods near Merrivale, Sheriff Cas Larkin discovers a strange "club" at the local high school that smacks of devil worship. As if that weren't enough, there are livestock thieves at work, and the longer he investigates the more tangled up things become. Is the county judge's son running a satanic cult, coercing his classmates into dark ceremonies and worse? With the judge himself getting in the way, finding out who's responsible for Denise Davis's untimely death is even more difficult. Cas needs to unravel the mystery as quickly as he can before the strange goings-on get even stranger...or there may be the devil to pay.
