Scratch by Wayne Wise

Like all small rural towns, Canaan, West Virginia has its secrets: lies, infidelities and even murder are kept hidden in the minds of the residents there. But there is one secret they will go to any lengths to protect.↵↵A little girl named Gabrielle, believed to be an angel, has been kept chained in the church basement for over a century now, prisoner of an ancient pact. Unaging and unearthly beautiful, Gabrielle has the power to heal.↵↵A madman pursues outsiders Adam and Holly Mansfield to Canaan, intent on kidnapping their daughter. Once there they discover there is one other secret in Canaan.↵↵Chained deep in the heart of the mountain is another being, a demon called Scratch. If Gabrielle is freed, Scratch will be as well, and his vengeance and evil will consume the town.
