Jade, a teen runaway and sex worker-turned-killer, has been restrained and is being driven into the deep woods in the dark night to be brutally murdered. Through Jade we learn the details of her heartbreaking life up to this point and how she came to be in this frightening predicament. Jade was born Laura, an only child raised by a caring mother in the city of Highbridge. After Laura’s mother gets sick, her father, an alcoholic who has been in and out of the women’s lives, returns to attend to the mother of his child in her final days. After her mom’s passing, Laura’s father disappears. A sad and scared Laura is soon taken in by two prostitutes who teach her the ways of the streets and rename her Jade Suede. The pair of working girls eventually leave Jade in a brothel where she is recruited by a loan shark/nightclub owner named Max Burke who hires her to seduce and kill deadbeat debtors. Along the way Jade falls in love with a gravedigger who also works for Burke. Wanting a better life for themselves, the lovers make a daring plan to escape their wretched world of homicide and lechery that will either lead them to freedom or get them both killed.

Reprinted Edition The Piper clan emigrated from Scotland and founded the town of Santo Verde, California. The Gothic Victorian estate built there has housed the family for generations, and has also become home to an ancient evil forever linked to the Piper name. . . As a boy, Rick Piper discovered he had "the sight." It was supposed to be a family myth, but Rick could see the greenjacks--the tiny mischievous demons who taunted him throughout his childhood--and who stole the soul of his twin brother Robin one Halloween night. Now a widower with two children of his own, Rick has returned home to build a new life. He wants to believe the greenjacks don't exist, that they were a figment of his own childish fears and the vicious torment he suffered at the hands of his brother. But he can still see and hear them, and they haven't forgotten that Rick escaped them so long ago. And this time, they don't just want Rick. This time they want his children. . .
