Expired Book

Danger On The City Streets. Terror From Beyond. . .

The strong, proud mother of four teenage sons, Tracie Burlingame does her best to keep them safe from trouble in their rough Harlem neighborhood. Yet despite all her efforts, she loses her eldest son to drug addiction, gaining only hatred in return for her love. But the grief Tracie feels for her first born is nothing compared to what she suffers after the unspeakably brutal death of her youngest. . .

The police investigation reveals no motive to point to a murderer, and even if there were, Tracie has trouble believing that the worst of criminals could commit an act so horrific. Soon enough, it becomes clear that her boy's life was taken by something, not someone. Something from Tracie's past that has returned with a vengeance--and that can only she can defeat. . .
