  Now he is slowly starving to death in a desolated apocalyptic wilderness. He tries to find food and stay warm. He is hounded by his fear of being discovered and haunted by the loss of his family. As the sunless days grow colder and as he grows weaker, he is forced to risk more and more for less and less. To survive he must risk dying—or even worse—getting caught.

  A psychological thriller that pits a community against a man, and that man against himself. Joseph Lee lost his wife, the love of his life. She was slain in their home, right under his nose. As if the grief weren’t enough, Lee was also blamed for her murder. At the end of the day, the detectives didn’t have any proof that Lee was the murderer, but that didn’t stop the community from shunning him or his friends and family from cutting him out of their lives. They didn’t need proof, they said. Left to stew in his own self-loathing, a miserable existence of solitude and narcotics, Lee is alone with his regrets and his remorse. But his life is about to change—there is hope yet for this hopeless man. A beautiful woman who looks uncannily like his deceased wife moves into the vacant house across the road, sparking something in Joseph Lee that he thought was long dead. But after the light at the end of the tunnel, there is even more darkness for Lee. This beautiful lookalike, and the house she now calls home, are hiding terrible secrets that will unravel everything Lee thought he knew about himself, his neighbors, and his deceased wife.

  Such a pretty face 
   
  So young, so sweet. She appeared out of nowhere, in the middle of traffic, on a busy day. A teenager with no past, no family-no memories. 
   
  Such a lovely child 
   
  So blond and beautiful. Carol and Paul were drawn to her-she was the child they'd never had. A dream come true. And then Carol's nightmares began-the ghastly sounds in the night…the bloody face in the mirror…the razor-sharp ax. 
   
  Such relentless evil 
   
  So deceptively innocent. Most mothers would die for such a darling little angel. And that's what frightened Carol most of all….
