Synopsis

Despite his brilliance, Paul Skoglund hasnt held a steady job for years, partly because of his Tourettes syndrome, a neurological disorder that forces his body into wild swings and to blurt out words that are hilariously, often tragically inappropriate. When his eccentric, wealthy aunt asks him to take on the repairs of her magnificent hunting lodge, he is in no position to refuse. But inside the lodge lies a scene of almost superhuman destruction: a violence now mirrored by a series of disappearances and deaths haunting the region. As Paul delves in to the wreckage, he cant help but wonder what dark passion and what strength could cause such chaos. Janet Pauls icy exwife, plans to use his condition to wrest away custody of their young son. And in his otherwise uncertain world, Paul is sure of one thing: nothing and no one is going to come between him and Mark. But quickening events lead him deeper into his familys past, and as Paul faces the darker aspects of his own nature, he must brave the possibility that in saving those he loves, he might well destroy himself

The main character refers to his aunt's 'horse' instead of house at one point. Things like that. The r......more

Hoewel het lijkt alsof het een horrorverhaal in een thriller is en bij vlagen ook spannend, vind ik het einde wat tegengevallen. Toch wel een origineel verhaal, dus leuk om te lezen.......more

Another great book by Daniel Hecht! How did I not know about this author sooner???? His books are really detailed and the characters are wonderful. I have to admit that some of the horror in the books is a bit hockey (especially in this one), but the characters are so great it really makes no differ......more
