In Los Angeles, everyone knows Ms. Tarbell dispels dread. She finds an amazing amount of it in that sunlight-filled city, but nothing like the unnamed horror she faces on her current case.
This horror arrives in a van, along with cameras, an agenda, and the ability to change her life in awful, nasty, inconceivable ways.
