In Salem, Massachusetts attorney Sam Hill hits the brakes of his Jaguar almost hitting a naked boy standing in the road. The lad seems in shock with blood all over his body. He puts a blanket on the young man and calls 911. Two cops arrive, but act weird. Finally Sam’s old friend detective John Alden comes to the scene. Alden tells Hill that the lad Malachi just hacked his family to death.
Jamie asks his niece Krewe of Hunters paranormal investigator Jenna Duffy to come to Salem to look into two homicides that occurred a few days before the Smith extended family slaughter. She arrives and the pair investigates the horrific murders. Sam defends Malachi who remains in silent shock. Soon childhood friends Sam and Jenna team up as Malachi’s defense unaware that the infamous Lexington House hosts a powerful malevolence.
The latest Krewe of Hunters romantic urban fantasy see Heart of Evil and Phantom Evil) is a terrific thriller that employs a haunted house as a base for tying the Salem Witch Trials with the present investigation. The story line is fast-paced from the moment Sam almost hits Malachi and never slows down until the final confrontation. Although the romantic subplot never quite gels feeling more like a requirement that goes to expected standard , the suspense is grippingly superb
