As Father O'Connor investigates Mills' death, he uncovers clues that suggest the Wilkerson family's influence didn't end with Thomas Wilkerson's arrest. A shadowy group known as "The Circle" is mentioned in old parish documents-an underground organization involved in occult practices that has ties to both the Wilkersons and Saint Helena's past. Father O'Connor also discovers that Cole, his ally from the first book, had been looking into The Circle on her own before Mills' death. Father O'Connor must team up with Cole again, but their partnership is strained. She's more disillusioned with the town's authorities and has begun to question her faith, having witnessed so much evil in the course of their last case. Father O'Connor, meanwhile, is struggling with his own doubts, particularly as he becomes convinced that this new threat is not just criminal but spiritual.
