About The
Fifth Petal: When a teenage boy dies suspiciously on Halloween night, Salem's
chief of police, John Rafferty, now married to gifted lace reader Towner
Whitney, wonders if there is a connection between his death and Salem’s most
notorious cold case, a triple homicide dubbed 'The Goddess Murders,' in which
three young women, all descended from accused Salem witches, were slashed on
Halloween night in 1989. He finds unexpected help in Callie Cahill, the
daughter of one of the victims newly returned to town. Neither believes that
the main suspect, Rose Whelan, respected local historian, is guilty of murder
or witchcraft. But exonerating Rose might mean crossing paths with a dangerous
force. Were the women victims of an all-too-human vengeance, or was the devil
raised in Salem that night? And if they cannot discover what truly happened,
will evil rise again?
