Rachel Ames, the local pastor, is reported missing. Her sister, Liz asks the police to investigate but Lt. Valentine Lopez says that Rachel probably left of her own accord. Then a local banker supposedly commits suicide and his assistant turns up murdered.

Liz refuses to believe the police as her sister had left a message of fear on her answering machine. She leaves her job in St Louis and moves to Key West to find answers.

She is given no assistance from the police. After uncovering suspicions about the suicide and murder she enlists the aid of Rick Wells a retired Miami detective who owns a local bar.

Together they reveal the existence of a satanic cult whose aim is to force all to deny God. There is a serial killer at large whose method is too similar to that of a killer on death row. Too many signs point to Lt. Lopez and it's up to his friend, Rick, to find the truth.

This is a tense tale of corruption and greed; of religious fanaticism; of the power of faith against evil.

The plot is well-constructed with characters finely drawn. The action is swift never falters and ends in a breathless climax.

The setting and atmosphere of Key West is well presented.
