Guardian Hardcover - 1993

by John Saul

A young mother of two, separated from her husband and struggling to make ends meet, becomes guardian to her orphaned godchild--and prey to an unholy terror. Lurking evil in idylic settings, innocent and not-so-innocent children are at the heart of this horror.


From the rear cover

"All the right scares in all the right places." The Seattle Times
A telephone rings in the dead of night with shocking news for single mother MaryAnne Carpenter: her friends the Wilkensons are suddenly, inexplicably dead, their only child, Joey, a sad and silent adolescent and MaryAnne's godchild, abruptly orphaned. But as MaryAnne rushes with her family to the Wilkenson's ranch to embrace her young charge, disturbing questions mount. Was it an accident that killed her friends? Or murder?Now, as winter transforms the ranch into a place of blinding, dangerous storms, a series of horrific murders, killings that suggest a raging animal and defy solution by the local police, draw ever closer to MaryAnne and her young family.
