Plot summary
Joseph Thorne is a Denver police detective who takes drugs and is unfaithful while he works. Called to a scene that looks like a ritual murder, he finds a strange puzzle box and brings it home, drawn by his interest in puzzles. Once he opens it, he has hallucinations: two mutilated women, and a creature without eyes or legs that chases him. He ties the murder to a killer the police call The Engineer, who is thought to have taken a child. Thorne hunts for him, and the man answers by killing Thorne's friends and colleagues, leaving a finger of the missing child behind each time. Thorne has a therapist, Dr. Paul Gregory, whom he sees about the visions.
