Eli Lamp is a broken man. An ex-detective, ex-addict and long-grieving father whose daughter, Hannah, disappeared a decade before, Eli decimated his old life investigating her abduction and is now indebted to the Crooked Wheel, a local drug gang, as an enforcer.

When the son of the Crooked Wheel's boss is found viciously murdered, Eli receives a new order: find out who the killer is and your debt to the Crooked Wheel is clear forever. This pursuit brings him into the orbit of Avery Bryant, Hannah's former best friend and the last person to see her before she went missing. Soon, Eli and Avery are entwined in a hunt for answers that spans decades, stretches the realm of possibility, and brings churning to the surface a conspiracy linking not only these current tragedies but the buried sorrows of Eli's past.

And though none of them dare say the word witch, at least not out loud, something lurks in the woods, bent-backed and black-eyed, clawed and vengeful, looming ever closer...

Critic Reviews

'Keith Rosson is fast becoming one of my favorite horror writers. Crone is a brilliant, heartbreaking melding of folk horror, crime novel and crippling grief. Nobody is merging these genres better than Rosson right now.' (Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Carry Me to My Grave and Road of Bones)
'This is mind-blowingly good. A horror novel that will keep you awake long after you turn the last page.' (on Coffin Moon) (Stephen King, internationally bestselling author of The Shining and It)
