Private detective Charlie Parker has been hired to investigate the circumstances of Grace Peltier's alleged suicide - a suicide neither her father nor Parker believe in. When a mass grave in northern Maine reveals the final resting place of the Aroostook Baptists, a religious community that disappeared almost forty years earlier, Parker realises that their deaths and the violent passing of Grace Peltier are part of the same mystery, one that has its roots in her family history and in the origins of the shadowy organisation known as the Fellowship. For before she died, Grace stole something from the Fellowship, a relic capable of linking it to decades of violence and the slaughter of the Aroostook Baptists. Lied to, intimidated, and haunted by visions of a small, stray boy, Parker's search for the truth behind Grace's death draws him into a series of increasingly dangerous confrontations with the Fellowship's enforcer, the demonic arachnophile known as Mr Pudd.
