Author Description

When seven year old twins Leroy and Molly Rodrigues are reported missing in the tiny Louisiana town of Coushatta, their disappearance is initially taken lightly. But then Molly's battered body is discovered by their friend Cassie Lasine at the local Kelly's waterhole. Cassie's life is put in danger when she is knocked to the ground and recognized by one of the killers. Medical examinations determine that both children had been abused before being viciously killed and mutilated. Sheriff Glen Grainger believes he is searching for just one killer, but as further events unfold, he finds himself entangled in an investigation involving a highly organised pedophile ring whose tentacles reach across all the southern states. Since being confronted by the killer at the waterhole, Cassie has lost her voice and unable to speak. The killer knows she needs to be silenced before her voice returns and is watching and waiting for the right moment.
