"Haunted by events from their childhood, Peter Stone and his sister, Rose, would surely agree with William Faulkner: 'The past is never dead. It's not even past.' Subtle references to Psycho and to Nightmare on Elm Street add a sense of foreboding to this beautifully written, eerily suspenseful, and totally engrossing novel. As Peter begins to learn why Rose has chosen to disappear, you won't be able to put this book down." - Jill McCroskey Coupe, author of True Stories at the Smoky View and Beginning with Cannonballs."Richly suspenseful, J.E.
