Just entering the second week of his summer vacation, William Wisting follows a local disappearance case in the press that becomes national news. Agnete Roll has been missing for three days, and there is no trace of her whereabouts.

With this disappearance making headlines, Wisting receives a mysterious letter containing only a set of numbers, which he matches to the code of an old murder case in which he was not personally involved. On a summer night in 1999, seventeen-year-old Tone Vaterland was murdered on her way home from work.

Desperate for a quick conviction, the police considered the investigation's conclusions more than obvious and arrested her ex-boyfriend, Danny Momrak. Tone's family was able to grieve. The public felt justice had been served. But recent events reveal connections that were not visible twenty years ago. The letter is just the first in a series, all suggesting that the wrong man was convicted and, worse still, that the real killer is still at large

'Salem's Lot' and its whitewashed clapboard houses, the tree-lined streets, the bells atop the church... However, when two boys venture into the nearby woods and only one emerges, Ben suspects the town may be shrouded in something more sinister. In truth, his town is under siege by dark forces, and only he and a small retinue of allies can stand against the Evil growing there

Mrs. Lowell beams with kindness as she waves at me through the fence that separates our houses. 'These must be our new neighbours!' I grab my daughter's hand and smile back. But as soon as she sees my husband, a strange expression crosses her face.

I used to clean other people's houses. I can't believe this is actually my house... Even though I was wary of Suzette Lowell when she invited us to dinner at her house, I decide it's a good opportunity to make friends. But the cold look in the maid's eyes when she opens the door... it gives me the creeps.

Plus, the woman who lives across the street passes me, and her words chill me to the bone: 'Be careful of your neighbours.'
