About this audiobook
A charismatic but profoundly dangerous stranger arrives in a quiet rural community, hiding a dark criminal past beneath a veneer of charm. He quickly sets about manipulating the locals, targeting a beautiful, vulnerable young woman while plotting his next illicit move. An invalid veteran watching from his window becomes the only person to see through the terrifying deception. The silent observer must find a way to warn the town before the stranger's violent tendencies are unleashed. The brewing storm of obsession and deceit creates an atmosphere of unbearable, claustrophobic suspense.
