The Reckoning

The exciting conclusion to Carsten Stroud's Niceville trilogy, in which the ancient evil that lurks beneath a Southern town must be vanquished - or else.

The nameless evil, Nothing, that has long lurked beneath Niceville is gaining power - and it's figured out how to go mobile, insinuating itself inside people's heads as a sadistic, persistent voice that urges them to increasingly violent acts. This spells trouble for Rainey Teague, the disturbed orphan boy taken in by the Kavanaughs, and for Kate Kavanaugh, whose number-one priority is saving Rainey. As Detective Nick Kavanaugh and the Niceville PD investigate a string of gruesome slayings around the city, they find the common thread in the sibilant voices inside the killers' heads. Nick, Kate, and Lemon Featherlight seem to be the only ones who understand what's going on, and the only ones who can stop Nothing from ultimately destroying Niceville.
