Sweet Dreams, Irene — Jan Burke

Jacob Henderson, the sixteen-year-old son of an aspiring candidate for D.A., has come to Irene Kelly for help.

But the discovery of a ritually butchered corpse suggests more to the inquisitive reporter than political dirty tricks -- dragging Irene into a real life nightmare of Satanism, mind control and murder.
