A series of grisly murders in and around Philadelphia seems to be the work of a gang of children. But these aren't ordinary kids--they're too fast and agile to catch, and sometimes they give off a faint but distinct crimson glow. What are they, and where did they come from? The city panics while scientists develop theories and a mysterious bounty hunter sets traps. And a young journalist named Kiara Weslan risks everything to learn the truth. Yet the kids remain elusive. They even seem timid, with one lethal exception: the one nicknamed Enfant Terrible.
