From publisher blurb:
“A fiendish and ululant corpse-gurgle split the atmosphere… from the ghoulish legion of hybrid blasphemies.”
The place: Miskatonic University, in the Massachusetts college town of Arkham. The time: present day. Life on the MU campus has gone through many ups and down over recent years, but student life continues apace. Recently, however, the life of one promising young student—Archeology sophomore Karen Clifford—has fallen under a nameless shadow. Once a quiet-but-bubbly personality around the dorms, Karen's behavior has become increasingly distant over recent months. Her room-mate and friends have all seen it. But is is only when Karen suddenly goes missing—simply wandering off one night—that people serious start to worry.
What starts as a simple report to MU Campus security soon spirals into a fully-fledged missing persons case for the Arkham PD. But when that goes nowhere… well, that's when the Protagonists get asked to look into things. Unknown to anyone, however, the situation is rapidly developing… and in a very real sense the clock is already ticking.
Will the new investigation team find the sophomore before it is too late?
And perhaps more importantly, can they resolve the unique moral dilemma that her situation presents?
