Publication Information
Someone is trolling this peaceful community – undetected
and undeterred – harvesting victims for a purpose no sane mind can fathom.
Someone Kara and Patrick, alone and desperate, are determined to unmask.
Someone who is even now watching, plotting, keeping a demented diary of
unspeakable deeds . . . and waiting until the time is ripe for another fateful
visit.
'As a literary performance, it doesn't give Harris and Strieber much competition.. What is genuinely upsetting about the book is its depressing implication that hands held out in loving compassion are precisely what shouldn't be trusted....and it makes for a brackish, disturbing ending'. - Booklist.
