Lizzie

Had that feeling lately that the world is going straight to hell? You might be onto something. For seven months, Dan and Beth and four-year-old Lizzie have been happily tucked away in their big new repo in the countryside. Dan, a real estate agent, was turned on to the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity through his contacts with a regional bank. Then he finds Barron Cemetery-or perhaps it finds him, because horrible events soon engulf his small family, all seemingly tied to his spur-of-the-moment visit to that strange boneyard. The police are no help, just the opposite, and Beth and Dan begin to suspect that not only are their new supposed friends and neighbors complicit in the attacks against them, but those uncooperative local authorities as well. They also start to question the intent behind the too-good-to-be-true offer that convinced them to move out to the boonies in the first place...and then Lizzie is abducted, snatched away in the night by the nightmare cabal behind Barron Cemetery. They can't go to the cops because the cops are part of it. They're on their own. They must rescue her themselves. So begins a race against time to save Lizzie from a fate worse than death, but along the way they'll confront hidden truths about themselves, their daughter, and this very world-truths they can hardly credit, let alone understand. All that craziness doesn't matter, though, because Beth and Dan will take their little girl back, no matter who or what stands in their way. But one question bothers her parents the most as they gird themselves for the fight of their lives: What in God's name do these people want from sweet little Lizzie?
