It begins in 1979, when twenty-one-year-old Francis descends into the state-run purgatory of an over-crowded, understaffed Massachusetts mental hospital. There ; is nothing imaginary bout the young nurse found sexually assulted and brutally murdered late one night after lights- out. The police suspect an inmate, while patients whisper about visions of a white-shrouded "angel." But the striking and mysterious prosecuting attorney who arrives to investigate has her own chilling theory-about the grim, telltale "signature" left on the vicim's body, a string of unsolved sex killings, and a very real devil who, by chance or design, has come to turn a madhouse into a slaughterhouse.
