A madman known as the Sherman Park Killer has been haunting the neighbourhood, but Underhill believes that Mark's obsession with a local abandoned house is at the root of his disappearance. He fears that in peeling back the house's hideous secrets, Mark came across its last and greatest secret - a lost girl, one who has coaxed Mark deeper and deeper into her mysterious domain, where he must encounter a fearsome adversary.

This is my favorite book of all time. Straub is a master of horror/thriller, and in this story you will see that. It is original and very well plotted, suspensful, and spooky. This book will also touch on all your other emotions as well. READ THIS BOOK!
