It's been a few years since Mooney's Edgar-nominated REMEMBERING SARAH came out, but the wait produced this excellent and scary thriller that fans out from the night a trio of faltering friends stumble across a rapidly developing nightmare. Left to pick up the pieces is Darby McCormick, now a crime lab tech with a case that will put her through newfound and shocking variations on her previous hell. Mooney surprises with unexpected plot twists and grabs the reader with empathy for his understandably guilt-ridden (but supremely capable) protagonist.
