Lake Charlotte. A quiet little town in upstate New York.
People still talk about the summer ten years ago when four
teenage girls mysteriously disappeared. No one remembers
that summer more vividly than Rory Connelly. Her older
sister Carleen vanished from her bed in the middle of the
night, never to be seen again. When she left Lake
Charlotte, she vowed never to return. But now, ten years
later, Rory Connelly is coming home.. "It's only supposed
to be for the summer. Rory has to cope with her mother's
slow descent into insanity and her rebellious teenage
sister Molly. The arrival of Barrett Maitland only makes
things worse. The handsome stranger knows too much about
the past and is constantly asking Rory questions.. "Then,
on the anniversary of the very first disappearance,
another teenage girl vanishes. Once again, Lake Charlotte
is gripped in fear, and for Rory, it's the past nightmare
revisited. Only this time, her own life is in jeopardy.
For walking through the streets of the town, wearing a
familiar face, is a cunning killer with a chilling
personal message:. ""Welcome home, Rory. You've been gone
such a long time, but now that you're back, you're never
going to leave Lake Charlotte again....".
