But late one October evening, all that changed. Driving home from a Halloween masquerade, Michael momentarily nods off behind the wheelโand wakes to find nothing is the same. Standing by his car is the little girl he came within a breath of running down. She leads Michael to her โhome,โ an empty house haunted by whispers, and sends him away with a haunting whisper of her own: โcome find me.โ But in the weeks to follow, itโs clear that someoneโor some thingโdoesnโt want Michael to find her: ominous figures in grey coats with misshapen faces are following him everywhere. And then Jillian wakes one morning replaced by a cold, cruel, vindictive woman Michael hardly recognizes as his wife. Michael must now search not only for the lost girl, but for a way to find the Jillian he's always loved, and to do so he must return to where the nightmare began. Down an isolated lane where heโll find them, or die trying. From the Trade Paperback edition.
