For years, American Simon Farrell has been held hostage in Lebanon, while his wife and daughter continue on with their lives. After years of torture, suddenly, he is coming home to a family he hasn't seen in years.
Donald Pick is also coming home. He has childhood memories of mental and physical abuse that he likes to re-enact. He also enjoys killing. Somehow, his path will cross that of Simon Farrell, and their lives will never again be the same.
This is a tautly written, gripping story of psychological terror and suspense. It is a story that will hold the reader's imagination and keep the reader turning the pages.
