How far would you go to save the lives you love most?

A young couple in their prime is found dead in the marital bed. As they lie naked, staring at each other with eyes wide open - filled with fear, his colleagues assume a double suicide, but Detective Andrew Deans senses that darker forces are at work.

Deans is facing an awakening - a spiritual birth, but he is stuck in a living nightmare. Those around him are watching...judging...expecting him to break.

As he waits to hear the news he dreads most, Deans receives an unmarked DVD, and the true meaning of horror is revealed.

Playing by the rules is getting him nowhere. Now, it’s time to do things his way. But death and tragedy haven’t finished with him...yet.

This breathtaking sequel to STORM LOG-0505 is the perfect fusion of crime and the paranormal. Fans of LJ Ross, Damien Boyd, Angela Marsons, and Stephen King will love it!

Book two of the international best-selling Detective Deans Mystery Trilogy.
