Synopsis

With his novels, “Bentley Little has created nothing less than a nightmarishly brilliant tour de force of modern life in America.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) In Beverly Hills, a wealthy CEO goes on a bloody rampage and videotapes the slaughter. He leaves behind a chilling cryptic message...“This is where it begins.” Miles away, an alarmed mother receives an unsettling letter from her estranged husband, stained with bloody fingerprints. And all across California, children are becoming affected by a monstrous change—and their parents, by a mounting fear. Social worker Carrie Daniels and reporter Brian Howells are determined to find the link between these baffling crimes. But they shouldn’t look too deeply into the lives of the victims. It’s quite dark there. And God help them, they won’t like what they find.

It's really two stories...each of which takes place in California. One is in the nineteenth century and the other is in the present. Both had the possibility to be compelling stories that were interwoven and intertwined...but a 100 years apart. As the connection between the two become clearer...the......more

Goodreads review by Brendon on January 22, 2025

This was a chore to finish, to be honest. I love Little of the books I have read, but this one missed the mark. Millionaires and the powerful are going crazy, killing people and themselves. Children are found as part animal and part human. Weird letters written in symbols are being found at the scen......more

Goodreads review by Chad on October 20, 2015

I have reached a point in my book collection, that my TBR (to be read) list is quite large and trying to decide what to read next is sometimes paralyzingly overwhelming and next to impossible. Do to this simple fact I have taken to looking at the reviews of other readers to help narrow down what I r......more
