description: In this razor-edged thriller, Charlotte Romanowski is an Atlanta stripper and former high-priced call girl—turned private investigator—whose first big case takes her from the Biloxi casinos to the North Georgia mountains in search of a missing boy. Hired by a Buckhead aristocrat to rescue her grandson from a shadowy cult, she locates the boy with relative ease. But discovers horribly late that he is merely bait in a trap, a trap set exclusively for her. The question of why takes a backseat to survival when she is ritualistically tortured then imprisoned in the dank catacombs beneath an old mountain lodge. Interspersed with Charlotte's ordeal are parallel scenes of witch-hunting nightriders terrorizing the early 19th century Georgia frontier. Months later, following an arduous underground escape, Charlotte wreaks hellish revenge upon her tormentors. Back in Atlanta, though, she must reenter the maw of the beast in order to discover the truth—and rescue her daughter from a two-century-old ritual that has poisoned an Old-South dynasty.
