A tragedy happened back in Paul's hometown of Gritten. As soon as he turned eighteen, he left and never looked back. Now after receiving a call telling him that his mother is dying, Paul is on his way back. Once there, he finds that the tragedy and the decisions made by those involved all those years ago is still impacting lives today. He learns of the copycat murders that have been happening through the years and about one just recently in a neighboring town. There is also someone who doesn't want Paul back in Gritten. Blood and scratches on his mother's front door and a doll made by the murderer all those years ago suddenly appear. Events that happened to him twenty-five years ago are happening to him again. Everytime I thought I had things figured out, Something would happen that changed what I thought. The way Alex North writes makes it seem as the events are unfolding before you. I can't wait for him to write another book.
