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!
An unbearable loss. A shattered life. And a killer
who wants more.
On the edge of the North
Carolina woods, behind an isolated modern house, the
watcher patiently waits. He knows all about the couple who
live there—a talented surgeon and a successful
businessman. He knows all about the people in their lives.
He knows they are numb with grief. And he knows what is
going to happen next—and why.
For Dr. Natasha
McCarty and her husband, Ward, their son’s tragic death
has shaped every moment of the last year. But to add to
their pain, a new strangeness is suddenly engulfing them.
Natasha’s hands have begun to shake. A prized memento has
been stolen. Then a sordid scandal explodes out of
nowhere, one that threatens everything they’ve built, and
brings friends, strangers—and enemies—into their lives.
And now, as the anniversary of their son’s death
approaches, for reasons they can’t guess, from a place
they can’t see, an extraordinary evil will emerge before
their eyes. Because a killer has chosen this day as their
last.
