me.

Dr. Walter Birkby, forensic anthropologist for the Office of the
Medical Examiner of Pima County, Arizona, provided information on the
recovery of burned remains. Dr. Robert Brouillette, Head of the
Divisions of Newborn Medicine and of Respiratory Medicine at the
Montreal Children's Hospital helped with data on infant growth.

Mr. Curt Copeland, the Beaufort County coroner; Mr. Carl McCleod, the
Beaufort County sheriff; and Detective Neal Player of the Beaufort
County sheriffs department were most helpful. Detective Mike Marmix of
the Illinois State Police also answered many questions pertaining to
the investigation of a homicide. Dr. James Tabor, Professor of
Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte,
supplied information on cults and religious movements.

Mr. Leon Simon and Mr. Paul Reichs provided information on Charlotte
and its history. I am also indebted to the latter for his comments on
the manuscript. Dr. James Woodward, chancellor at the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte, supported me unquestioningly throughout
the writing of this book.

Special thanks must go to three individuals. Dr. David Taub, mayor of
Beaufort and primatologist extraordinaire, was steadfastly helpful
despite the barrage of questions I sent his way. Dr. Lee Goff,
Professor of Entomology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, did not
abandon me as I pestered him endlessly for advice on bugs. Dr. Michael
Bisson, Professor of Anthropology at McGill University, was a resource
on McGill University, on Montreal, and on basically anything I needed
to know.

Two books were particularly useful in the writing of this story.
Plague: A Story of Smallpox in Montreal (1991), by Michael Bliss,
Harper Collins, Toronto; and Cults in Our Midst: The Hidden Menace in
Our Everyday Lives (1995), by Margaret Thaler Singer with Janja Lalich,
Jossey-Bass Publishers, San Francisco.

I am grateful for the loving care of my agent, Jennifer Rudolph Walsh,
and my editors Susanne Kirk and Maria Rejt. Without them Tempe could
not tell the stories that she does.

DEATH DU JOUR

One.

If the bodies were there, I couldn't find them.

Outside, the wind howled. Inside the old church, just the scrape of my
trowel and the hum of a portable generator and heater echoed eerily in
the huge space. High above, branches scratched against boarded
