    About this ebook

    Generations beyond the events in H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu," the Thurston/Angell family has remained it the family seat, prosperous in business and politics. Wayland Thurston wants none of it. However, after the death of his father, he has no choice but to return home to Providence and receive his birthright. He wants none of that, either, but puts in an appearance anyway.

    And everything changes.

    "Psychic detection, Lovecraftian terrors, buried secrets and family intrigue; this has them all, and more. A suspense-filled start to a new series that promises much more Lovecraftian goodness to come." - Willie Meikle, author of The Ghost Club
