Deepest winter. An isolated island off the coast of
Maine. A man. A woman. Puppets. (Yes,
puppets…) And… A mysterious house looming over the sea
. . .
He's a reclusive writer whose imagination
creates chilling horror novels. She's a down-on-her-luck
actress reduced to staging kids' puppet shows. He knows a
dozen ways to kill his characters with his bare hands. She
knows a dozen ways to kill an audience with laughs. But
she's not laughing now.
Annie Hewitt has arrived on
Peregrine Island in the middle of a snowstorm and at the end
of her resources. She's broke, dispirited, but not quite
ready to give up. Her red suitcases hold the puppets she
uses to make her living: sensible Dilly, spunky Scamp, and
Leo, the baddest of bad guys. Her puppets, the romantic
novels she loves, and a little bit of courage are all she
has left.
Annie couldn't be more ill prepared for what
she finds when she reaches Moonraker Cottage or for the man
who dwells in Harp House, the mysterious mansion that hovers
above the cottage from a windblown cliff. When she was a
teenager, he betrayed her in a way she can never forget or
forgive. Now they're trapped together on a frozen island
along with a lonely widow, a mute little girl, and
townspeople who don't know how to mind their own
business.
Is he the villain she remembers or has he
changed? Her head says no. Her heart says
yes.
