Summary
It's been twenty-seven years since Gail lost her unborn child. Twenty-seven years since Caleb faced the monster that he could become.
The world has moved on. Times have changed. Yet in Trinity the battle between good and evil is merely... dormant.
Nothing sleeps forever. Especially not in Trinity.

Summary
Better than that, she could imagine that it was the kind of town that it pretended to be, like something out of a painting or a poem. The myth of the American small town where everyone knows each other, where everyone helps each other, and nothing bad ever truly happens. The kind of town where people didn’t mortgage their morals.
The kind of town where someone, something like Lucas Buck wouldn’t be able to exist. -

Summary
Lucas hadn’t much been brought up to believe in right and wrong, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have any kind of standards. You had to have standards, or you weren’t any better than an animal. Although Lucas had observed privately a number of times that there were plenty of things human beings did to each other that no animal ever would.

Summary
‘Why do we tell scary stories to children, Gail? Why do we watch horror movies? We do it because there’s something intoxicating in fear. We do it because there’s something delicious in the relief afterwards. Little Red Riding Hood goes into the woods and maybe she does it despite the Big Bad Wolf being there. But maybe she does it because she knows the Big Bad Wolf is in there.’

Summary
Lucas had lived for so long with the knowledge that his daddy’s time, and more to the point his power, was not just finite but increasingly impeded by Lucas’s. How Lucas felt about that, how he thought about that, had changed over the years.

Summary
Lucas cocked his head. ‘You tried to get me drunk, Malcolm, which wasn’t nice, but you also drugged the Aunt Roberta and that was inexcusable.’
‘You know your cocktails.’
Lucas shrugged. ‘My momma likes them.’
Greene licked his lips. ‘And what would your mother say if she heard that you had drunk too much at a party, were too embarrassed to admit it, and threatened a professor?’
Lucas grinned. ‘Sir, she would look the person telling her that in the eye and she would say horse hockey.’Series

Summary
Lucas was the kind of boy whose sins were always pardoned as peccadillos and crimes as charming caprice. Anything that couldn’t be washed away with smiles and winks would be bought off if possible or threatened away if necessary.

Summary
He’d never slept in the same bed as anyone else before. Not slept. He had never been allowed to sleep in his parents’ bedroom. He had, of course, been in the room without permission, but rarely while his mother was there and never when his father was present.
He had heard stories of children climbing into bed with their parents after bad dreams or scares in the night, but then he had also heard stories of fantastical lands accessed through wardrobes. One seemed pretty much as unlikely as the other.

Summary
Lucas glanced at Ben. ‘Take Merlyn to her bedroom. Pick her up if you have to.’
Judith relaxed a fraction. ‘You’re not staying?’
‘No time,’ Lucas said, shaking his head. ‘Barbara Joy’s water just broke and if this one misses the birth; I will never hear the end of it.’
Ben, half carrying Merlyn, spun on his heel. ‘She’s what?’
Lucas rolled his eyes. ‘Put the child in bed, Ben,’ he said slowly and carefully. ‘You’ve got time.’
‘Shit!’ Ben rushed into the bedroom and settled Merlyn in bed as quickly as humanly possible.Series
