You never know whats lurking out of sight
Dealing with the tragic death of his father, 14-year-old Reggie finds the isolation of the woods near his house comforting. Until one day, a man stumbling, bleeding, clearly distressed emerges from the shadows.
Reggie hides the man in his treehouse, and helps the stranger recover. Each with stories to share, soon the pair form a strange friendship.
But then Reggie learns that his new friend is a ruthless contract killer. And when the killer decides to make a break over the Mexican border, with law enforcement in hot pursuit, Reggie must decide whether to honor the bond with his newfound father figure, or betray it and bring a brutal murderer to justice
A powerful, emotional, thrilling rollercoaster of a read from the author of If You Go Down to the Woods
Praise for Seth C. Adams:
By turns gripping, macabre and terrifying, this is an atmospheric, gritty page-turner Alex Lake, author of After Anna
I was immediately drawn into the world Seth C. Adams created because his writing is simply divine! There are plenty of thrills and spills to keep you on the edge of your seat, so buckle up! I went through every emotion reading this novel. I cant wait to see what the author writes next Sam Carrington, author of Saving Sophie
Chilling and absorbing a brilliant portrayal of how quickly situations can spiral out of control Phoebe Morgan, author of The Doll House
Dark, edgy, fast-paced and with echoes of Stand By Me, IT and Fargo, this chilling debut thriller will stay with you long after the final page Michael Wood, author of the DCI Matilda Darke series
Compelling and pacy I found it impossible to put down! Amanda Brittany, author of Her Last Lie
Nail-biting doesnt come close to describing the atmosphere Seth C. Adams creates in this chillingly brilliant novel. Full-on, heart-thumping knuckle-chewing, terror is more like it Chris Curran, author of Her Deadly Secret
Raised on Marvel comics, horror fiction, The Twilight Zone, and other genre entertainment unsuitable for an impressionable young mind, Seth C. Adams knew he wanted to tell stories at a young age. With a Bachelor's in anthropology from the University of California, Riverside, and completing his Master's in North American History at Arizona State University, as an adult he's learned that real life is indeed often stranger-and more frightening-than fiction. He currently splits his time between California and Arizona, and is always working on, or thinking about, his next story.
