Each one is killed the same way, a small knife wound to the heart, almost as if it was made with a dagger. Each of the victims had rope burns on their wrists and ankles. There was no doubt about it; these were ritualistic killings, sacrifices. Now they had Jennie, the woman Joseph loved more than life, and it was up to him to find out where their cult's headquarters was, where they held his beloved Jennie, before it was too late.
