Nick and Ruthie witness a gruesome murder, and Nick\u2019s pocketknife shows up at the crime scene the next morning. Nick has had problems in the past, and Inspector Kendall Straker remembers. He remembers Ned Leatherman, Nick\u2019s alcoholic step-father as well, and he doesn\u2019t believe the boy is a killer. The problem is that the knife &#8211; emblazoned with the name of the band Maelstrom &#8211; is the only clue he has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Horace Goldbough is the local pastor. He\u2019s built a huge following and a beautiful church, but there are things about the good reverend that the town doesn\u2019t know. In particular there is his relationship with a dark woman named Beauchane, and a certain book he keeps hidden from the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With local reporters, and a television talk-show host hounding his every step, Straker attempts to unravel the series of grisly killings terrorizing Lavender, while simultaneously protecting Nick. Nick, in the meantime, has begun his own investigation, feeling trapped and needing to clear his name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ritual words are being spoken, and a power that has been denied access to the Earth for centuries is poised to strike. The clock is ticking. Can Straker, Nick, and Maelstrom find the answer to the killings and put an end to them before the final ritual takes place, or will a horror be unleashed on the unsuspecting town of Lavender beyond their comprehension?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Includes the novelette: The Haunting of Victor Drahos at the end of the novel<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":14261,"template":"","format":[59],"meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"book-author":[132],"blockchain":[4],"book-genre":[],"narrator":[],"book-publisher":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-14257","book-dea","type-book-dea","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","book-author-david-niall-wilson","blockchain-cardano","format-ebook"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Maelstrom - Stuff.io<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;MAELSTROM&quot; by award winning author, David Niall Wilson.
