Dreams of Shadow — Wayne Cotes

Dr. Augustus Sebastian Bach is a world-renowned expert in matters of the occult. When five children are brutally murdered in the small town of Pierre, Arizona, their bodies displayed in a mimicry of an upside down cross and scarred by Icelandic staves, Dr. Bach and his partner, forensic specialist Dr. Sumner Jefferson, are called in to consult. As Augustus and Sumner peel back the layers of the case, Augustus makes a bone chilling discovery - the person, or people, responsible for these murders may also be responsible for the murder of his parents.
