In the beginning there are bad dreams, bad, blood-soaked dreams. The dreamer suffers and remains silent. Not all silence is golden. Nevertheless, for now things progress as usual. Then a girl disappears, and shortly thereafter a series of murders changes everything in the small village at the southern edge of the Alps. Gates of Evil open up to the reader. Madness and love, passion, cunning, and hatred fed by ancient and long-forgotten sources form the elements of this incredibly suspenseful thriller. A stranger, acting on behalf of an unrelenting force, follows the clues of nearly-forgotten atrocities. The forests, rocks and rivers of the landscape have guarded the mysticism of the peoples which came through this area a long time before history began. The archaic Evil is joined by its modern, banal form of convenient opportunities. Only one young woman stands like a tower in a storm, implacable and unwavering. A feast for all lovers of the genre.
