The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

When Satan Comes to New Jersey ...

A quaint coastal community that prides itself on it's piety, the good people of oceanside Heights shudder collectively at word of the newest fad among local teens: devil worship! Despite rumors that old scratch himself has appeared at their beachside revels, the kids' late-night antics seem more ditsy than dangerous--until ghostwriter Anne Hardway happens upon the corpse of young, would-be witch Abby Podowski.

All hell breaks loose ...

Though a seasoned hand at crime-solving, Anne doesn't want to touch this case. But when the prime murder suspect--an apprentice witchling and grandniece of an elderly friend--disappears, Anne is pulled, against her better judgment, into an eerie, arcane world of black magic. And before a "witch hunt fever" worthy of Salem infects the Heights, she's going to unravel the dark web of murderous secrets and lies that surrounds the satanic activities of the Oceanside young--even if there's the devil to pay.
