Spark

A riveting story of greed, addiction, and betrayal. 

Some say a curse was born when the bodies of six children were uncovered in the small town of East Durham, and after a series of mysterious tragedies Ben Flowers is starting to believe it.

What begins as a streamlined plot to seek revenge on those responsible for the horrendous crimes, evolves into a nightmarish slip up of fatalities, and a whirlwind chase to find the killer.
