Evil Walks Among Us

Special Agent Gavin Gregory returns in this spine-chilling sequel to Wrath Child! The Bogeyman begins murdering young women in Miami, and Gavin Gregory, the elite FBI profiler who ended The Smith's reign of terror in Manhattan, catches the case. Try as he might, Agent Gregory can't wrap his rational mind around the crimes after he discovers each victim has mutilated herself before delivering the killing blow. Offering to help, Adeline d'Clara claims to be part of a secret government program designed to indoctrinate, cultivate, and train psychic assassins. What's more, she claims to know The Bogeyman comes from a small group of psionic men who can control other people remotely. When Gavin tries to validate her story, he finds only more mystery--there is no record Adeline d'Clara has ever existed. Can Agent Gregory navigate the web of lies and stop the Bogeyman before kills again?

Have you ever had the feeling that someone is pulling your strings, making you dance to their tune? Since the Smith case in Manhattan, Gavin Gregory, one of the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit's best profilers, has had those feelings in spades. First it was Glacadairanam, the Wrath Child, who was the hidden hand manipulating his life, but in Miami, Gavin met the power behind the little gargoyle in the form of a creature calling himself Fry. But Fry is much more than a man with an East Texas drawl--as evidenced by his funny habit of turning up in Gavin's dreams. The last time Gavin dreamed of the insane creature, the experience almost killed him. During the two investigations, Gavin learned many things existed he'd always thought impossible--psychics, possession, secret government programs kidnapping children and training them as assassins--but the demonic father-son duo embodied by Fry and Glacadairanam scare him the most. Because when those Devils Dance, Gavin has no choice but to waltz along with them.

Reviews of Wrath Child "Vick is a seasoned writer who doesn't hold back. His opening line ('The alley stank of garbage and human waste and blood and imminent death') demonstrates his ability to evoke the senses and paint a visceral scene -- and alerts readers that the story to come contains a fair amount of gore and disturbing images. The well-crafted plot, memorable characters, and decidedly wicked villain will linger long after the last page is turned. Those looking for an engrossing supernatural thriller containing high stakes will find much to enjoy. Great for fans of John Connolly's A Book of Bones and Vaughn C. Hardacker's Wendigo--Publishers Weekly "Wrath Child is one of the best supernatural thrillers I've read in recent years, and I would highly recommend it to fans of the genre."--Pikasho Deka, Readers' Favorite Reviews "Wrath Child: A Supernatural Thriller is psychologically rich, written with interesting details and scenes that put readers on the edge of their seats.
