A mask of flies - matthew lyons

A Mask of Flies by Matthew Lyons is a pulse-pounding crime horror epic about a criminal on the run, the deadly family secrets she unearths along the way, and the sinister monster from her past which has gotten a taste for her blood--and wont sleep until shes dead.

In the grisly aftermath of a botched bank heist, career criminal Anne Heller has no choice but to return to her familys cabin - a secluded shack in Colorados San Luis Valley, and the site of her mothers untimely death.

Along for the ride are Jessup, Annes badly wounded partner, and Dutch, the police officer shes taken hostage.

As they wait for help, Anne discovers strange relics from her mothers past and begins to unfold the mystery of her childhood at the cabin.

Then Jessup goes missing, only to turn up dead.

Anne and Dutch bury her friend, but that night, he comes back and knocks at the cabin door.

Not a dream, not a hallucination, but not exactly Jessup, either.

Something else.

Something wearing her friends face.

Something hungry.
