Little Megan Guthrie has gone missing from Wessex Township, a small, peaceful New Jersey town—vanished from her schoolyard, practically from within view of her family home. And no amount of police effort has resulted in her return. Nick Catesby, Chief of Police, has no suspects, no evidence, and no time before a pair of teenagers turns up missing. When disgraced professor and town drunk Preston Howard comes forward claiming he knows the truth about who or what has been taking the children, he becomes their prime suspect.
