(previously published as Purgatory's Gate)
After healthy young Debra Miller dies giving birth, guilt-ridden Dr. David Monroe's secret investigation uncovers a terrifying world where madness and violence reign.
Our deepest, darkest dreams of hell on earth are about to become reality. With the help of a disillusioned priest, Monroe has to confront the never-ending battle between good and evil lurking in the human mind and find those who would do anything, no matter how ruthless, to fulfill their fanatic religious beliefs - before his blood is sacrificed next.

"Raymond van Over's [novel] has it all: human interest, suspense, and passion. A complex plotline that weaves slowly into a spider's web of intrigue and supernatural terror. Possibly the best story of the satanic since Blatty's The Exorcist." - James A. Moore, author of the Serenity Falls trilogy
"Here's a work which harkens back to the classic Gothic writers of horror. The opening scene of an unexpected death in the obstetrics ward alone gave me a bad case of tachycardia, but what distinguishes [this novel] is Raymond van Over's attention to characterization throughout the book - touching and successfully exploiting that morbid streak which runs through us all. A grand show, executed with taut pacing and nice literary flourishes. Enjoy... " - C. Gardner, Amazon.com
"Captivating, thrilling and shocking, [The Quickening] makes for a great read... and a good reason to be afraid of the dark. I couldn't put this one down. The plot is engaging and frightening at the same time... The book has the perfect thriller, sensuality, and horror mix. I highly recommend it, but think twice before reading it late at night!" - BookFetish.com
