Once again we get to see why one should avoid small towns. This time we have an orphanage where accidents have caused the deaths of several children. We have a powerful family that controls all aspects of the town. We have the head of that family giving tin soldiers to boys who later die. We have hidden mysteries whose time for revelation has come. But mostly we have a young boy whose best friend died in an alleged accident. Now he has been given a tin soldier. To make it worse, his dead friend seems to be trying to contact him. There is anger that needs to be appeased. The boy will become the conduit for that anger and the instrument of retribution. Add in a young sheriff just trying to do her job and avoid corruption and you get a fast-paced tale of terror and revenge. This one definitely surprised me and quickly moved in directions I would not have guessed. A very good tale of horror and terror.
