The Trilevolence Donald Neal Laskin

A cryptic note left by a little girl who then vanishes warns Manuel Landaye his unborn son will be murdered to avenge a centuries-old infanticide. Six years later, Landaye is a convicted murderer on the run from faceless killers and the executioner's needle. With his son's life in the balance, Landaye is the only one who can save him if he can hunt down and destroy something - that does not exist! Landaye's nightmare odyssey begins when his wife joins him to scout her family's newly reacquired Colonial estate, setting in motion a series of events that could lead to the end of civilization. In a nod to classic Hitchcock, The Trilevolence offers by turns humor and horror with some things only the supernatural can explain - or not. Almost nothing is as it seems from the ship that sank twice to the interrogators who never were. With three-dimensional flesh and blood characters and a story that continues gathering momentum, The Trilevolence heads for a climax that's taut, logical, and surprising.
