"A FINELY CRAFTED SUPERNATURAL CRIME THRILLER... WITH RAZOR SHARP PROSE AND A BRISTLING ATMOSPHERE." -The BookLife Prize A missing girl whose bloodline traces back to the Salem Witch Trials is the perfect prize for a demonic cult operating on the fringes of Salem's witchcraft underground.
Desperate to find his missing niece, a Boston police captain loans his best detective, Ray Hanley, to Salem PD to lead the investigation. But tensions flare when Ray is partnered with Elena Martinez, a rookie detective who resents his intrusion on her first big case.
As they navigate a treacherous landscape of occult rituals and black magic, the horrific discovery of additional victims deepens the mystery and hints at a more sinister plot… one involving a powerful enemy whose secrets include ancestral ties, malevolent forces, and the fulfillment of a dark prophecy.
As the days count down to Halloween, the race is on to stop an unspeakable evil from plunging Salem into eternal darkness.
A National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist for Horror From the award-winning author of THE ART OF DYING Although THE BURYING POINT picks up where THE ART OF DYING leaves off, it follows Detective Ray Hanley on a completely new case that can be read as a standalone novel.
"An unpredictable blend of crime and horror… The Burying Point grabs from the first pages with crisp, focused prose and dialogue-driven scenecraft." –BookLife Reviews (Editor's Pick) "A brilliant and unmissable dance with the devil. Salem witch lore has rarely been as terrifying as it is in The Burying Point." –Bestthrillers.com "[Cavignano's] fictionalized version of Salem makes for a wonderfully spooky backdrop… An effectively atmospheric crime novel that pits no-nonsense cops against wicked Massachusetts magic." –Kirkus Reviews
