Ghost in the Grove

A church bus full of teenagers vanishes on the way to a Pentecostal conference. A tattooed "youth pastor" with a dangerous past is behind the wheel. And Special Agent Michael Webb, haunted by childhood memories of snake handlers and poison rituals, knows he's running out of time.

Webb's hunt takes him into the dark woods and swamps of South Georgia, where a runaway heiress and a vengeful holy roller are bound by secrets soaked in blood. His relentless search leads him to the opulent antebellum Ripley estate, a pecan orchard hiding decades of buried sins.

Will Webb be able to save the teens before the orchard's secrets claim more lives?
