The footprints were etched in the snow for miles, passing through walls and crossing rivers...appearing on the other side as though no barrier could stop them. In 1922, a farmer finds his snow-blanketed yard marked with thousands of cloven footprints. They vanish with the melting snow... only to reappear seventy years later near the gruesome killing of Rachel DeLaune. Years after her sister's murder, tattoo artist Sarah DeLaune is haunted by the mysteries of her past. She's always believed that a man named Ashe Cain killed her sister. But, no one else ever saw Ashe, he had 'appeared' to Sarah, only to vanish on the night of her sister's murder. Then the past bleeds into the present when two mutilated bodies are found near Sarah's home...the crime scene desecrated by cloven footprints.
