One Foot in the Grave. A Lou Thorne Thriller, #10

Louie Thorne has faced monsters, killers, and ghosts-but nothing has ever shaken her like this. When Lou saves two terrified children in the middle of a violent ambush, she knows they're running from something far worse than ordinary criminals. The children refuse to talk. The trail is cold. And buried beneath it all is a case that should have stayed dead. Years ago, a brutal serial killer vanished without a trace after slaughtering parents and abducting their infant children.
No arrests. No bodies. No answers. Until now. If Lou has found two of the missing children alive, it means the others might still be out there-and time is running out. As Lou hunts the truth across continents, private investigator Robert King takes a case that no rational detective should touch. A desperate mother claims her daughter has been taken by a satanic cult operating in the heart of New Orleans. Dark magic.
Rituals. The French Quarter after midnight. King doesn't believe in any of it. Not until the evidence starts to stack up. As past and present collide, Lou and King are pulled into a web of ritual violence, buried crimes, and forces that don't stay dead. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone is cleaning up old sins-and they're willing to sacrifice anyone who gets in the way. One Foot in the Grave is a relentless supernatural thriller about lost children, impossible choices, and what it costs to keep hunting when the darkness won't let you stop.
