Spawn of Lucifer.... It all started with the wholesale slaughter of prize cattle at Sam Hinton's ranch at Big Bear Lake. And at the very moment that Sam was calling psychic investigator "Chill" Chillders for help, the broken body of his young son was discovered. The evil was past destroying the Hintons' livestock; it bad begun destroying their lives. Chill was not himself psychic, but his special lady, beautiful Laura Littlefawn was. And so she came with him to Big Bear Lake. Someone among the Hinton family and friends was consorting with Satan—there was evidence of a bloody black mass in an abandoned mine—and it meant a painful trance for Laura to try to invoke the dark forces of the netherworld. But before Chill and Laura could exorcise the devil, more blood would flow, more violence would be committed, and Chill himself would be accused of horrendous crimes, In a shattering finale, Chill and Laura come to grips with an invisible force that operates in a human body-a force that only the ancient elements of fire and flood will finally destroy.
