Wellsville

What do a strip joint, a serial killer, and a demon have in common?WELLSVILLEWhen Sebastian Kane leaves Nantucket Island and returns to Wellsville, he brings trouble with him. Trouble that reaches every soul in town. No one quite knows what to make of the newcomer who has bought up all the land to the east, and is planting corn-his corn. But they’re all excited for the money they hope will breathe new life into the town. Kane makes a deal with Clyde, the manager of the “Wild Mare Club”, a strip joint on the outskirts of town, and the destruction begins. In an effort to take what is his, Kane sets out to seduce the young Amanda Walsh. But his plans are interrupted by another creature seeking to settle a long raging score, bringing Wellsville to an end-or a new beginning.From the book:Leaving NantucketFlames licked at the night sky as the house on Sunset Hill blazed out of existence. Kane had made a promise to Edward all those years ago, and he was a man of his word. The house was burning in effigy for Owen Coffin. Sebastian walked out onto the porch, turned his back to the heat, and sat down. He cocked his heels up on the railing and stared out over the Sound. Nantucket, TuckerNuck, and Martha’s Vineyard had yielded a fine crop. But now just a few broken corn stocks stood up from the gray dirt, and it was time to move on. Kane pulled his eyes from the barren earth and watched as the flames devoured the last of the timbers, then he stepped into the inferno and vanished. He had business in Wellsville.
