The Death of Dreams (Linger #5)

THEY SEE WHAT NO ONE ELSE SEES

Every crime scene has a smell. A look. A trail of DNA. It also has a feel. An emotional residue that lingers... floating unseen, like bacteria in the air, just waiting to be absorbed. To be experienced.To be interpreted.

And only the man, the woman, and the boy know this.

It starts with a "pull" they can't quite explain. All three of them feel it--Kate, Weston, and Christopher--but none of them know why they are drawn to this small town in Southeast Michigan in the middle of winter.

Before long, they are confronted in a diner by an oddly formal man with a cemented smile who warns them away, because he knows, you see. He knows why they have come here.

And in the next few hours, Kate, Weston, and Christopher will know, too, as they find themselves trapped in a house in the midst of a raging snow storm. A house that has seen its share of horrific violence... and is about to see more.
