The Mountain View Hotel and Resort was a six-storey hotel nestled
in the Adirondack Mountains in central Pennsylvania, which had its
heyday in the 1930's and 1940's with guests that included famous
personalities, but also had some shady characters.Then, in 2025,
the Smith family gets lost while trying to travel to New York for
the matriarch, Kristen's niece's christening.They take refuge in
The Mountain View, where they discover that both the hotel staff
and its guests are more than what they seem and eventually the
Smith family races against time to escape with their very l
Rumors circulate that the old McPherson place a couple of miles
outside of Framingham, Connecticut, is haunted. But one summer day,
fourteen-year-old Laura Mueller and her three friends summon the
courage to go there. Just because old man McPherson committed
suicide there a couple of years ago at age ninety-three doesn't
mean it's been overtaken by ghosts. But Laura has no idea what the
old house has in store for her in the future, and it's not going to
be a pleasant experience. That house, which haunts unsuspecting
young women when they are the most vulnerable, chooses Laura to
receive its horrific powers. Worse, it waits until the opportune
time-years later, when she's married and is expecting her first
child. When she is seven months pregnant, Laura is summoned back to
the old McPherson place by some mysterious and evil force. Held
captive in a strange place, she wonders if she'll ever find her way
back to her former life.
A killing like no other. A killer more twisted than he's ever seen
before. A case that will test him to the limit. Has Robert Hunter
finally met his match? 'Do you believe the Devil exists,
Detective?' the officer at the end of the line asks. 'Because if
you don't . . . I'm sure you will once you get here.' Robert Hunter
is called to the most vicious crime scene he has ever attended. It
is made even more disturbing when the autopsy reveals a poem, left
by the killer, inside the body of their victim. Soon, another body
is found. The methods and signature of the murder differs, but the
level of violence used suggests that the same person is behind both
crimes. Hunter's fears are confirmed when a second part of the poem
is found. But this discovery does more than just link the two
killings - it suggests that this is the work of a serial murderer.
With no forensic evidence to go on, Robert Hunter must catch the
most disciplined and systematic killer that he has ever
encountered, someone who thrives on the victims' fear, and to whom
death is a lesson that needs to be taught. From #1 Sunday Times and
multi-million copy bestselling author, Chris Carter, comes the most
compelling and ruthless Robert Hunter thriller yet. ***PRE-ORDER
