Proctor has his fill of mundane cases, but occasionally deals with an eerie investigation that hints at the supernatural. To his credit, Proctor does not rule out the seemingly impossible. He wonders if something otherworldly is the cause behind a case in Hart Junction, Kansas, a town that was used at one time in many movies.
Residents seem to vanish without a trace.
The few remaining citizens hear footsteps, but no one is ever seen. Even more frightening to the few remaining townsfolk is the flying sounds that are heard by all just before someone dies. All these nocturnal events began when the Morning Star Cult moved into the vicinity about four years ago. Proctor predominately looks at the cult without ruling out other culprits in an effort to save a town that is near death. Charles Grant has the uncanny ability to make readers doubt their conclusions while perusing one of his brilliant novels.
