And there are whispers of a dark cult on campus whose members wear vials of blood around their necks and meet in secret chambers - rituals to which only the elite have access. The stodgy Catholic college has lured edgy new professors to its campus and gained a reputation for envelope-pushing, with classes like the very popular “The Influence of Vampirism in Modern Culture and Literature,” and elaborately staged morality plays that feel more like the titillating entertainment of some underground club than religious spectacles. All Saints has changed a lot since Kristi was an undergraduate.
She decides to enroll, following their same steps. The police think they’re runaways, but Kristi senses there’s something that links them, something terrifying. All four were “lost souls” - troubled, vulnerable girls with no one to care about them, no one to come looking if they disappeared. Four girls have disappeared at All Saints College in less than two years. She hasn’t given up her dream of being a true-crime writer - of exploring the darkest recesses of evil - and now she just may get her chance. But if anything, Kristi’s experiences have made her even more fascinated by the mind of the serial killer. Her dad, New Orleans detective Rick Bentz, wants Kristi to stay in New Orleans and out of danger.
Not many people her age have nearly died twice at the hands of a serial killer, and lived to tell about it. Twenty-seven-year-old Kristi Bentz is lucky to be alive.
