The Shore (The Pines Trilogy, #2)

Believing himself pursued by monsters, a teenage boy skulks through windy streets, while a madman prowls in search of salvation ... and a tormented girl struggles to escape captivity. As a winter storm tightens its grip on the town of Edgeharbor -- epicenter for a series of horrible murders -- the scattered inhabitants cower from more than pounding waves. Mangled victims bear the marks of savage claws and strange, bloody footprints mar the snow-covered beach. Now a young policewoman and a myserious stranger are all that stand between this isolated community and an ancient evil.
