Description
In a chilling, intensely eerie new novel of suspense from the New York Times bestselling author of The Camp and The Babysitter, a woman haunted by unreliable psychic visions must decide how far to trust herself when it comes to stopping a killer.
Sometimes, a bad, bad feeling creeps over Veronica Quick. It happened on her tenth birthday, when a voice filled her head: Don’t go in the water. That day, she nearly drowned while swimming with her friends, one of whom was seriously injured.
Since then, Ronnie has tried to turn off her premonitions. After all, not every vision comes true. She’s made a fool of herself before, predicting things that didn’t transpire. And she’s still shaken by disturbing images tied to that day at The Pond.
But this new vision is different. This one won’t be ignored. There’s a clearing in the woods, and a woman, strangled to death, her hands bloody and torn.
The body is found just as Ronnie predicted, and suddenly she’s seeing glimpses of more victims, even as she clashes with a skeptical police detective from her past. But Ronnie sees just enough to know there’s a killer out there, stalking, strangling, circling everyone she knows in an
ever-tightening web.
But it’s the part she doesn’t yet see that is the most terrifying . . .
