A Dark Sun Rises

Redd Riddick's tortured existence begins when his parents are killed in 1897 on their way to their new son's christening. Raising him falls to his twisted and brutal uncle, whose ghastly treatment of the hated child produces a bizarrely disturbed adult.  Many years later, Malcolm and Anna Tilner and the extraordinarily gifted Eva Hauser are brought together once more when a mysterious and elaborate series of executions threaten the Tilners and other powerful people. A complex skein of relationships and compulsions for revenge gradually surface as evil from long ago explodes in a monstrous conspiracy uncovered by the brilliant Anna and her miraculous partner, Eva.
