Lee Cronin's The Mummy

Eight long years of guilt and false expectations are more than enough to break anyone's spirit. Having given up hope that they will ever see their kidnapped daughter Katie alive again, grieving parents Charlie and Larissa are in for a shock when she miraculously re-emerges in their lives. But the girl, now a young woman, is a different person; her scarred flesh is nothing compared to the profound emotional trauma that clouds Katie's mind. Pain changes people on so many levels. However, Katie's grotesque transformation is beyond compare; her unimaginable ordeal defies explanation. As all efforts to comfort her yield only discord and despair, an unnamed terror encroaches on the family, refusing to let go of its favourite. Now locked in a mysterious state of catatonic silence, one question haunts everyone's minds: What was Katie doing inside a 3,000-year-old black basalt sarcophagus?
