From back cover: Mike Lewis is excited about spending the summer with his journalist father on the Channel Island of Guernsey. There he mets his father's friend, Tony St. George, and his wife, Janine, a native of the island, and Lisa, Tony's daughter.At first, Lisa doesn't care for Mike's company, but they join forces when Mike learns that Lisa believes a coven of witches meets each Friday night at a prehistoric tomb on the hill behind her father's house. What's most shocking is that Lisa is certain that her stepmother is one of the witches. It's difficult for Mike to accept the idea of real witchery. But as one terrifying event leads to another, Mike can no longer deny that some force is out to destroy Tony and Lisa. Is it after him too?
