About This Book

There is pure evil at work, infesting the body and spirit, driving its victims to insanity, suicide, and murder. To cast it out, a Jesuit priest must take a frightening journey into the heart of a Southern family tormented by an unspeakable curse.

As he unravels three generations of secrets and battles for the very soul of the family's last surviving member, he will wrestle with his faith in the face of lust and collide with dark forces hell-bent on destroying him.

Brilliantly imagined and compulsively readable, Dark Debts is a pulse-pounding supernatural thriller — a remarkable novel that will grip you with its nightmare vision of evil and hold you spellbound until the very last page.
