Blurb: “Jonathan Hayes has a great life not a lot of money, but a loving wife, two great kids, and dreams that are just starting to come true. All that changes, however, when the police show up at his front door in force, arresting him for the heinous murder of a young woman.
Jonathan is innocent. He knows this. His wife, Joan, knows this. But the police don't seem to care. It's as though they have already tried and convicted him and when he sees their evidence, he realizes why. Their evidence demonstrates conclusively that he is indeed the murderer. But all their evidence is fake.
He proves this, eventually, and goes home to find that his troubles have only just begun. Barry, his wife's former husband, has returned with a vengeance, and Joan has started getting phone calls from a boy she thinks is Merle, the son she had with Barry. The thing is, Merle is dead. He was stillborn, and the doctors had been unable to revive him.
It's impossible, but it's happening. And then Jonathan's world falls apart completely. He comes home one day to find his wife dead, murdered in the little workshop where she sculpted her clay. On her workbench is the last piece she was working on: the tiny clay figure of a newborn baby, dead, the umbilical cord wrapped tightly around its neck.
Jonathan is devastated. Heartbroken, he does the only thing left that he can do. He turns to magic in a desperate attempt to find the real killer and avenge his wife.”
