Description: "Modern terrorism, like ancient beliefs in spirits and ghosts, thrives in lush, beautiful Sri Lanka, the setting of A Garden of Demons. Lila, a gifted half-American girl, begins to see her once idyllic world in new ways when her uncle Richard joins her family on a visit.

Though he seeks peace from a troubled past in her parents' jungle sanctuary, Richard must instead help them to confront the dangers which threaten to destroy their home and, with frightening intensity, put an end to Lila's innocence."--BOOK JACKET.
