"A dark imagination, a sinister smile--always on the outside of the group. Some part of you suspected he might be capable of doing something awful. Twenty-five years ago, Crabtree did just that, committing a murder so shocking that it's attracted that strange kind of infamy that only exists on the darkest corners of the internet--and inspired more than one copycat. Paul Adams remembers the case all too well: Crabtree--and his victim--were Paul's friends. Paul has slowly put his life back together. But now his mother, old and senile, has taken a turn for the worse. Though every inch of him resists, it is time to come home. It's not long before things start to go wrong. Paul learns that Detective Amanda Beck is investigating another copycat that has struck in the nearby town of Featherbank. His mother is distressed, insistent that there's something in the house. And someone is following him, which reminds him of the most unsettling thing about that awful day twenty-five years ago. It wasn't just the murder. It was the fact that afterward, Charlie Crabtree was never seen again"--Provided by publisher.

"Twenty years ago, a serial killer abducted and murdered five residents in the town of Featherbank. Nicknamed 'The Whisper Man,' for luring his victims out by whispering at their windows at night, the murders stopped when Frank Carter was caught. Widower Tom Kennedy is looking for a fresh start in a new town, to help him and his young son Jake heal. Then a young boy vanishes, and his disappearance bears an unnerving resemblance to Frank Carter's crimes. Detectives Amanda Beck and Pete Willis must find the boy before it is too late, even if that means Pete has to revisit Carter in prison. Now Jake hears a whispering at his window"--OCLC.
