The Book of Diagom Gordon Turcott

The two Chicago PD detectives investigating the horrific crime scene at least reassure themselves that such a grisly occurrence...a body that literally exploded...could never happen again. But they were wrong. The killing is only the first in a series of similar, inexplicable deaths that have at their center packages of experimental lights. Detectives eventually discover that the key to the unearthly horror is a precocious nine-year-old boy named Ronnie, the only survivor of the mysterious plague of death, who is haunted by shadows and a mysterious presence known as Diagom. Ronnie's survival might be the only hope for the continued existence of the world as we know it. Part detective thriller, part horror story, part metaphysical puzzle, THE BOOK OF DIAGOM is a multi-genre novel that holds an eerie light on the mystery of existence itself.
