To appease its wrath, they decide to offer it a sacrifice--a human one.

Ten years later, all will have to face what they've done or suffered through--and maybe the end of the world.

WalkerAfter a high-profile case puts him in the headlines, private detective John Shaft is looking for something low profile and easy that will keep him out of the spotlight, out of danger.
