No good deed goes unpunished, but that hasn¿t stopped me yet. My name is Rowan Gant. I¿m a Witch with an unfortunate gift¿I can hear the voices of the dead. Not just any dead, mind you. I hear the spirits of murder victims. Personally, I think of it as a curse. The cops, on the other hand, consider my uncommon talent an invaluable investigative tool, which is why I often work for them as a consultant. Too often, unfortunately, and believe me, it is taking a serious toll... Just over one year ago I was called in to help the Major Case Squad track down Eldon Andrew Porter, a spree killer determined to resurrect the Witch hunts, trials, and executions of the 15th century. He left a string of tortured bodies and screaming souls in his wake, and then he turned his violent attentions to me. Fortunately, I survived our face-to-face encounter, though just barely. After that, Porter disappeared¿vanished without a trace¿and he stayed that way. Until now, that is... Eldon Porter is not the kind of fanatical sociopath who simply gives up, and to be honest, I never believed he would. I¿ve been expecting this all along. Now he is intent on giving me a one-way ticket to Hell, with an extended preview right here on Earth. But he should make no mistake¿if I¿m going, I have absolutely no intention of taking the trip alone. If I have to kill him before he kills me, I will. Whatever it takes, I am going to end this...
