Description
Ned Dunstan's birthday brings with it a familiar and terrifying ritual: a paralysing seizure in which he is forced to witness scenes of ruthless slaughter perpetrated by a mysterious figure in black, known only as Mr X. As his birthday approaches once more, Ned returns to his hometown of Edgerton, Illinois, driven by a premonition that his mother is dying.
On her deathbed, she reveals the name of his long-absent father and warns him that he is in grave danger. Despite this foreboding, Ned sets out to uncover the truth behind his own identity and that of his family's dark past. But when he becomes the lead suspect in three violent deaths, he begins to realize that he is not alone in coming home.
This supernatural thriller weaves a complex web of mystery and suspense, as Ned navigates the treacherous landscape of his own history and confronts the evil forces that have haunted him for so long.
