Ward and Natasha McCarty are struggling to put their lives back together after their son's death last year. They can't find their way in their own relationship and can't let go of missing their little boy. It seems almost fitting that everything else begins falling apart. Natasha's hands begin shaking, which is a tragedy for a pediatric surgeon. Ward is losing time, sleeping too much and forgetting important things.
When Ward's company computers are infected by a virus that sends porn to all their customers, the resulting media frenzy shakes the family even more. What they don't know is that their problems are part of a carefully laid plan by a man -- called the Watcher -- who sits in the woods, patiently watching their house and waiting to exact his revenge.
Carve time out when you sit down to read, because you won't want to put this one down until your fingernails are bit to the nub and the last page is turned. Miller is a master at his craft, intertwining horrific suspense with the heavy pain of the grieving parents. Excellent!
