Sometimes I wonder if the purpose of my lifeis to serve as a cautionary tale to others.--T-shirtCharley Davidson has enough going on without having to worry about twelve hellhounds hot on her trail. She is, after all, incredibly pregnant and feeling like she could pop at any moment. But, just her luck, twelve deadly beasts from hell have chosen this time to escape onto our plane, and theyve made Charley their target. And so she takes refuge at the only place she thinks they cant get to her the grounds of an abandoned convent. Of course, if hellhounds arent enough, Charley also has a new case to hold her attention the decades-old murder of a newly-vowed nun she keeps seeing in the shadows of the convent. Add to that the still unsolved murder of her father, the strange behavior of her husband, and Charleys tendency to attract the, shall we say, undead, and she has her hands fullbut also tied.
