In 1663, a beautiful woman in Hartford, CT, was acquitted of being a witch but then crucified by townspeople. One of her teenage twins survived the subsequent chase. She promised there would be hell to pay.

Fast forward to Atlanta, Georgia, in 2015, when teenage twin girls are ritualistically murdered with black crosses. Atlanta’s top homicide detective, Suzanne Delacroix, is so impacted by the crime scene that she quits. But she’s compelled to investigate. With the help of a reporter, an FBI friend, and an old fishing buddy of her cop father’s – she discovers that the murders are linked to another set of twins’ murders four decades ago, just outside Atlanta in Woodstock. And others. And that she’s long been part of the Evil Game of Twins.

This novel is the anchor book of the Game of Twins series that occurs in the present time. The story picks up several decades after the prequel book Game of Twins - The Special Agent ends.
