Dark and atmospheric, this thriller weaves together a multi-generational story of a father and son, along with a town's dark past and lingering fears about a serial killer. If you like high tension with your suspense, mixed with some menace, this is the book for you.
Tom Kennedy thinks a new start, in a new town, is just what he and his son need after the sudden death of his wife. However, the town they move to has a dark past and their own house seems to have some sinister secrets all its own. It doesn't help that right when they're settling in, a young boy vanishes on his way home. To add to the tension, it seems that this disappearance bears a strong resemblance to the terrible crimes committed by "The Whisper Man" years before. But "The Whisper Man" is in prison, isn't he? And just who is Tom's son hearing at the window?
This is a nailbiter of a book. The characters are realistic, so even when you start wondering if there might be some bit of a supernatural element to the story, you tell yourself you must be wrong. But there's seriously something going on --- who is the little girl that only Tom's son can see? If you think you know what's going to happen next in the story, prepare yourself for some twists.
