The New York Times bestselling authors return with a chilling
thriller set on an isolated island off the Oregon coast. A group of
women with extraordinary gifts will need to face evil...before it
returns to burn their refuge to the ground.
The note pinned to the dead body found on the remote beach has no name,
just Ravinia Rutledge's phone number and the words "Next of Kin."
Ravinia insists she doesn't recognize the man on the mortuary slab, but
she suspects Detective Nev Rhodes doesn't believe her. He can tell that
she's one of them--the Siren Song women.
Five years after moving away from The Colony, Ravinia has carved out a
life as a private investigator whose specialty is helping others locate
their missing loved ones. Yet sometimes, it's better if the missing are
never found. "Good Time Charlie" is the name given to a monster from her
past, a man whom she and her sisters hoped was gone forever. But the
dead man on the beach is a sign that Charlie has merely been waiting,
preparing to fulfill his mission to rid the world of the Siren Song
women--and anyone else who gets in his way.
Rhodes has his own reasons for being fascinated with The Colony and its
surroundings--a place marked by unexplained deaths and tragedies. Rhodes
plays by the rules, but there are forces at work here that defy notions
of law and order. And despite Ravinia's reluctance to team up with Nev,
it's the only way to stop an adversary determined to see that each and
every member of The Colony will die at his hands . . .
