No matter how deep, the past never stays buried.
Fifteen years ago, the Unholy Spirit Killer murdered seven people in a small town in the north of England. Fathers and sons, abducted from their homes without a trace, as though taken by a spirit. The pattern was left unfinished. Alex Greyson buried his past a long time ago. He created a new identity, a new personality, to keep anybody from knowing the truth: he's the son of a serial killer. Now the Unholy Spirit is back and he's made Alex's estranged brother victim number eight. The only way to keep the truth of his past from destroying his new life is to return to his hometown and resume his old identity. To hide in plain sight until the police catch his brother's killer. Alex has been haunted by his father's crimes for fifteen years but, despite all the evidence, he cannot accept the Unholy Spirit has really returned.
