The Malevolent

In 1983 Griffin Andrew Meade moves to Bartholomew Bay settling into Antioch the ancestral mansion of the wealthy Bartholomew family. Unbeknownst to him he soon discovers it is haunted by the restless spirit of Angelus Bartholomew III who met a tragic death in 1919 after a fatal fall from the widow's walk. Through flashback dreams Griffin begins to unravel the secret romance between Angelus and Lazarus Benedictine the lighthouse keeper's son-a forbidden love story that echoes Griffin's own budding relationship with Christian Gutmann. But the past refuses to stay buried. Angelus's spirit unleashes a series of deadly acts that reveal his malevolent intent to reclaim his lost love: Lazarus in the afterlife. Griffin is faced with an agonizing choice: assist Angelus in his sinister plot or risk the lives of his family and first love.
