Every day for the past eight years David Beck has relived the horror of what happened: the pale moonlight, the piercing screams, the night his wife was taken. Everyone tells him it's time to move on. But he cannot find closure since a message has appeared on his computer, a phrase only he and his dead wife know. Beck has been warned to tell no one, and he doesn't. Instead, he runs from the people he trusts the most, plunging headlong into a search for the shadowy figure whose messages hold out a desperate hope. But already Beck is being hunted down. He's headed straight into the heart of a dark and deadly secret -and someone intends to stop him before he gets there.
