On the inside cover:
“When a teenage boy dies suspiciously on Halloween night, Salem's chief of police, John Rafferty, husband to gifted lace reader Towner Whitney, wonders if there is a connection between his death and Salem's most notorious cold case, a triple homicide dubbed "The Goddess Murders," in which three young women, all descended from accused Salem witches, were slashed on Halloween night in 1989. As he investigates this dark chapter of Salem's past, he finds unexpected help in Callie Cahill, the now-grown daughter of one of the victims, newly returned to town. Callie has always possessed second sight, but her homecoming causes her premonitions to intensify, and she struggles with visions she doesn't understand, as well as her growing attraction to a man with unknown connections to her mother's murder. Neither Callie nor Rafferty believes that the main suspect, Rose Whelan, a respected local historian, is guilty of murder or witchcraft. But exonerating Rose might mean crossing paths with a dangerous force. Were the women victims of an all-too-human vengeance, or was the devil raised in Salem that night? And if they cannot discover what truly happened, will evil rise again?“
