But she soon learns it's just hte calm before the storm.
Because werewolves begind abducting young women in Kansas City, and a new church opens it's doors, pronoucing death to all idols, including these "make-believe" monsters and wizards.
But when one of their congregation is disemboweled by a monster on the steps of the church with the phrase God is dead painted in blood, some in the church decides to take a lesson from the Salem Witch Trials... And the police seem to be helping.
Callie must catch the killer before Kansas City erupts in civil war. A civil war she inadvertently started. Before everyone decides to kill each other. Or worse yet, her.
But she's being stalked. By something unseen. M;ore than one something... And with so many new faces coming to Missouri - gods, legends, and nightmares - Callie begins to realize it's all someone's sick idea of a game.
And that Hell never really left Kansas City. Or Callie Penrose.
After all, they say Missouri loves company...
