St. Martin's Minotaur, $24.95

Freelance journalist Jase Deering investigates a terrible crime on its first anniversary: the kidnapping of twin two-year-old boys, with no hint to where they might have gone. The boys' former nanny turned up that day with the word "mirrorrorrim" carved into her flesh, but no explanation. What Deering finds is a trail that leads back to a nearly legendary, long-dead practitioner of black magic who may be influencing followers to this day.
