- Sheila Miller's newborn baby is gone. His death certificate is stamped SIDS,but Sheila knows her Timmy did not die in his crib from natural causes —he was taken. But no one believes Sheila's tale of standing helpless while amysterious veiled woman hovered over the crib. Karl, Sheila's rigid, insensitivehusband, openly scoffs at the supernatural and is convinced Sheila isemotionally ill. Her Aunt Iris — a sensual, counter-culture writer and acontinuum of the sixties who loves her niece dearly — can't accept thestory even though she wishes with all her heart she could. At least Iris is apositive, supportive force in Sheila's life and gives her a needed refuge in hermountain cabin. But as a series of bizarre incidents destroy innocent peoplelinked to Sheila, those closest to her — including Chad Olsen, a studentof Eastern philosophy to whom Sheila is inexplicably drawn — listen when aChinese legend historian reveals a terrifying story involving a white jadeamulet and a ferocious fox-maiden, an entity determined to destroySheila.
