Their beloved adopted daughter Lani has vanished -- a beautiful Native American teenager "kissed by the bees" and destined, according to Tohono O'othham legend, to become a woman of great spiritual power. A serial killer is dead, but his malevolence lives on in another -- and now the fiend holds Lani's innocent life in his eager hands. Before he snuffs it out completely, he intends to make his young prisoner -- and, more importantly, her parents -- suffer a slow and agonizing torture. For only this will avenge his friend and mentor, his dark god, Andrew Carlisle. Kiss of the Bees is a dark and brilliant excursion into evil's domain that will haunt the memory as long as the most vivid dream...or lingering nightmare.
