The Cistern

About the Book

What did he see in the photograph taken late one afternoon when the setting sun broke through the clouds? What lay beyond the trees along the stream on the other side of the pasture? A few pixels and shadows lead to an obsession—an obsession that might take his life and that of his beloved Genevieve. Nothing could prepare them for the horror that lay ahead.
