A small California coastal town becomes a shoal of eternity as its citizens confront the mystery of a long-ago invader. Mary-Shane MacLemore, a young obituary writer seeking her first big story, stumbles upon puzzling zoo murders whose trail leads to a ghostly underwater ship from far space. Along the way, she encounters exorcists, voodoo worshippers, a tough cop, a handsome curator with two cool kids to befriend her own son, and a wealthy family who have sold their soul to...The Cold Thing...which happens to also live inside Mary-Shane's head...and takes her back to her own horrific past, which she has blocked out. Her biker husband, whom she saw kill people in fits of violence, is long dead--but seems to be alive and well, roaring around in other dimensions and still scaring the crap out of Mary-Shane and Kippy. Then there's Mary-Shane's mother, who is starting to telepathically communicate with aliens, and Mary-Shane's shrink, who knows more about the circling U.S. Air Force C-130 spy planes than one might expect. Be prepared to have the threads of your imagination yanked apart, and tightly rewound on a mile-long coil of breathtaking yarn that's dark, daring, delicious, and scary as hell. Not for the literal-minded or the faint of heart.
