In “My Soul to Keep,” Dylan Foster is once again caught in a bizarre and twisted chain of events. A parent’s worst nightmare comes true and a birthday party that should be filled with joy is turned awry when a little boy close to Dylan’s heart is snatched from a local park. With little evidence to point the way, local law enforcement is led through a chain of mystifying events that seem to go nowhere. With the help of an intuitive six-year-old girl who is eerily connected to the missing boy, Dylan follows a path of tantalizing clues to the truth. With the sinister presence of Peter Terry never far behind, Dylan is led to a place she never expected – or wanted – to go.

“My Soul to Keep” releases Feb. 5, 2008, from Multnomah Books, a division of Random House. All three of Wells’ books – “When Day of Evil Comes,” “The Soul Hunter” and “My Soul to Keep” – feature the nemesis, Peter Terry, who remains an enigmatic, compelling character – and ultimately, a metaphor for the inner demons waging war against us all.
