      About This Book

      The terrifying presence of an autistic child, Cindy Delp, in an affluent Washington suburb precipitates multiple horrors, including brain seizures and unexplained, orgasmic shudders, until Dr. Sara Marks deciphers what Cindy's hellish screeching means.

      Her body seemed out of her control ... her hips and pelvis jumped involuntarily, thrust forward, as the warm blood burst through her body ... Another shuddering. Another rage of thick pleasure ... And then, just as suddenly, it was over ...

As their frequency and ferocity increased, the women of Renaissance Village became terrorized by these inexplicable "attacks." But even as the death toll mounted, who could expect that the key to stopping the assaults would be an eleven year old Autistic girl?
