Summary

Hannah’s new apartment is too good to be true—affordable rent, charming architecture, and just enough creaky character to feel historic. But the charm fades fast when mysterious noises start echoing through the walls at night. Whispers, thumps, dragging sounds. She blames her downstairs neighbor. He blames her. And no one knows what’s really pacing the floors.When another tenant joins the chorus of complaints, the uneasy tension between them transforms into a reluctant alliance. Together, they search the building for logical answers, only to uncover traces of something much older—and much hungrier—lurking in the walls.As their suspicions turn inward, and fear sharpens into paranoia, Hannah begins to wonder whether they’re being haunted… or manipulated. Each knock, each shadow, each fragment of forgotten history reveals a deeper pattern. But who—or what—is pulling the strings?Trapped in a place where emotion fuels the unknown, the tenants must face the truth about the building, and about themselves. Because in this brownstone, the walls remember more than they were ever meant to.What if the most terrifying ghost story isn’t about a ghost at all?

    Sometimes a novel idea can turn out to be a bad one. 
 
 
 
Sally Simmons was rather misunderstood in the small town of Whitby, North Carolina. An awkward woman with a sly countenance, she became a regular at the library, spending a good deal of time scribbling in a notebook and staring vacantly off into space. 
 
 
 
It turned out, to everyone's surprise, that Sally had been industriously penning a novel. To their greater surprise, it became something of a sensation, even landing itself on the bestseller lists. 
 
 
 
Since much of the novel had been written within the hallowed walls of the Whitby Library, reference librarian Ann and other staff members decide to hold an event to celebrate Sally’s accomplishment and learn more about her book. 
 
 
 
Sadly, it soon becomes evident that Sally's book was inspired by actual residents of Whitby—and that she concealed their identities poorly. 
 
 
 
When Sally meets an unfortunate demise, it's up to Ann to figure out the killer so the police can throw the book at him.

But this is no mindless act of violence; quite the contrary, it is a well-thought-out and executed plan that is akin to one man waging war against an entire nation. With casualties mounting, society coming apart at the seams, and law enforcement closing in, Tyler is determined to execute his plan and, more importantly, get away with it.
