When Ashley Cordova is found dead journalist Scott McGrath knows it's time for him to finally figure out the mystery of Cordova. The man that legends are made of. Scott is using the death of Ashley to investigate Scott.
Cordova was a hugely famous director that kept his and his families lives very private. There was always a sense of the unknown about him. The people that were in his films often had major life changes after the completion of the films.
Scott is joined by Nora and Hopper in his search to find out what happened to Ashley. Turns out that the life was far stranger than any of them could have imagined. There are spells, devils, and possible children sacrifice.
The book was slow paced and well told. It had my attention the entire time even though it took it's time in telling a full story.
