In one Halloween obsessed Midwestern town everyone's on red alert after a local politician
goes missing. Little do they know it's only the beginning. It's been close to twenty years
since forensic pathologist Dolores Hawthorne left her hometown of Little Horton Wisconsin. The
town is famous for its Halloween celebrations but also its history of violent deaths linked to
the holiday. To Dolores it's the place she fled family bad memories and all. Until the FBI
calls to tell her that her father?the former mayor turned US Senator--is missing under
mysterious circumstances. Some people count to ten to wake up from a nightmare. Dolores always
counts the bones of her head instead: sphenoid frontal lacrimal. But no matter how many times
she counts them it doesn't change the fact that her father is missing that his final words of
warning to her were to trust no one and that now the rest of her family is giving Dolores a
chilling welcome. With Halloween fast approaching Dolores must face the past she left behind
before it's too late.
