has been summoning macabre masterpieces from the darkest realms of his imagination． With each new book， his instinct for playing upon our deepest dread has grown only stronger and more sinister． He’s never been afraid to push the boundaries of suspense and confront us with what frightens us most． After his father’s untimely death sends fifteen-year-old Ryan McIntyre into an emotional tailspin， his mother enrolls him in St． Isaac’s Catholic boarding school， hoping the venerable institution with a reputation for transforming wayward teens can work its magic on her son． But troubles are not unknown even at St． Isaac， where Ryan arrives to find the school awash in news of one student’s violent death， another’s mysterious disappearance， and growing incidents of disturbing behavior within the hallowed halls． Things begin to change when Father Sebastian joins the faculty． Armed with unprecedented knowledge and uncanny skills acquired through years of secret study， the young priest has been dispatched on an extraordinary and controversial mission： to prove the power of one of the Church’s most arcane sacred rituals， exorcism． Willing or not， St． Isaac’s most troubled students will be pawns in Father Sebastian’s one-man war against evil--a war so surprisingly effective that the pope himself takes notice of the seemingly miraculous events unfolding an ocean away．But Ryan， drawn ever more deeply into Father Sebastian’s ministrations， sees--and knows--otherwise． As he witnesses with mounting dread the transformations of his fellow pupils， his certainty grows that forces of darkness， not divinity， are at work． Evil is not being cast out ． ． ． something else is being called forth． Something that hasn’t stirred since the Inquisition’s reign of terror． Something nurtured through the ages to do its vengeful masters’ unholy bidding． Something whose hour has finally come to bring hell unto earth．From the Hardcover edition． 2007 Ryan McIntyre picked up his cereal bowl， held it to his lips， drank down the last of the sweetened milk exactly the way he had for at least the last fourteen of his sixteen years， and pretended he didn’t notice his mother’s disapproving look． With a glance at the clock， he stuffed the last half of his third slice of buttered toast into his mouth then stood up and picked up his empty bowl and plate． He had just enough time to grab his books and get to the bus stop． ”Do you have any plans for after school today？” his mother asked． Her tone instantly put Ryan on his guard． ”Why？” he countered， as he put the dishes in the sink． ”Because we’re going out to dinner tonight， and I’d like you to be home by five-thirty．” Ryan’s eyes narrowed， and he felt his day cloud over． But maybe he was wrong． ”Out to dinner？” he echoed， turning to face his mother． ”Just us？” Teri McIntyre turned to meet her son’s eyes． ”With Tom，” she said． ”He’s taking us both out to dinner， and I’d like you to be home by five-thirty． Okay？” There was a tone to her final word that betrayed the knowledge that she knew it was not okay with Ryan at all． His next words confirmed that knowledge． ”I don’t want to go to dinner with Tom Kelly，” Ryan said， instantly hating the whiny quality he heard in his own voice． He took a deep breath and started over． ”I don’t like that he’s always around． It’s like he’s trying to move in on you．” ”He’s not moving in on me，” Teri said， her eyes pleading with her son as much as her voice． ”He’s just helping us through what is a very difficult time．” ”He’s helping you through your difficult time，” Ryan shot back in a tone that made his mother flinch． ”He’d like to help you， too，” Teri said， her eyes glistening． ”I don’t need his help．” Ryan moved toward the stairs． ”And I don’t need anybody trying to replace Dad， either．” ”He’s not trying to replace your father， Ryan，” Teri said， her voice quivering． ”Nobody could．” His mother’s words burning in his head， Ryan ran up the stairs to his room． Damn right no one could replace his father， and especially not Tom Kelly， who seemed to be at their house all the time now， trying to be nice． As Ryan scooped his books off his desk and dumped them in his backpack， his eyes caught on the picture of his father that always sat right next to the desk lamp， and he paused． Something in his father’s gaze seemed almost to be speaking to him． Grow up， his father seemed to be saying． You’re sixteen years old and you’re still sucking your milk from your bowl like a two-year-old． It’s time to be a man． His backpack clutched in his right hand， Ryan stood perfectly still， feeling his father’s eyes boring into him． Grow up． And be fair． Be fair． The words his father had spoken more than any others． Ryan sighed， giving in to his father’s silent command． If he was going to be totally fair， Tom Kelly wasn’t really all that bad． In fact， he’d been a lot of help to his mother over the past six months． When the car had broken down， Tom had fixed it． When the roof had leaked， Tom had known who to call and made sure his mother didn’t get cheated． And when the basement had flooded， Tom had helped move things upstairs then helped clean the place up again， and never said a word about the fact that Ryan had managed to avoid speaking to him through the whole long day． Still， nobody could replace his．．．  【Adobe eBook形式】
