Partners in peril. Stanley thinks he's being stalked-but by whom, and why? Tom is determined to protect Stanley-but from what? Or is it really Tom who's being stalked? There are clues, to be sure, but they're like trying to to gather bits of mist, like chasing ghosts: words of love, left unsaid; a long ago injustice; a vanished child; a man, embittered. Memories, yes, but which of them are real, and which are only dreamed? With each new piece, the puzzle shifts, the picture changes.

Two young boys coming from quite divergent backgrounds grow up in two dissimilar areas, geographically and economically. One grows up near a big city with a strong family structure and is indomitably influenced by his parochial education. The other boy grows up in a rural community and lives in an economically depressed environment. They live apart with no knowledge of the other but are bound by a gift – if one could call it that – a gift of Extra Sensory Perception – ESP. Jimmy, the lad who lives in Queens, New York, suffers dreams that give him a glimpse into the future, and it is not an enjoyable view. Indeed, these sojourns cause Jimmy a great deal of mental anguish. Benjamin lives in rural Pennsylvania and is abused by both his alcoholic father and his classmates. He is a loner and desperately isolated. He is relentlessly bullied both at home and at school and finally, through his dreams, envisages avenues for revenge. Ultimately, as they grow into young adulthood, their reveries begin to reveal the other and there is no doubt that they must meet and their eventual confrontation results in a shocking climax.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Countdown returns with a knock-out suspense thriller that pits a mother and son against a killer who's the stuff of nightmares. If you close your eyes, he’ll get you. Sophie Dunston knows all too well how dreams can kill. As one of the nation’s top sleep therapists, she specializes in the life-threatening night terrors that her ten-year-old son, Michael, suffers from. But she is also an expert in another kind of terror–the kind that can turn a dream life into a living nightmare in the blink of an eye. Someone is watching. He’s a shadowy figure from out of her darkest fears and he hasn’t forgotten her. In one shocking moment of violence, he’d shattered Sophie’s world forever and left her with only one thing to live for: her son. But the nightmare isn’t over for Sophie Dunston. It’s just begun. He’s been waiting. Sophie was supposed to die the first time around, but fate intervened. This time he’ll make sure that not even a miracle will save her.

But to whose advantage? Sophie will soon find out. She will have to trust Royd because she has no choices left. Because the bogeyman haunting her dreams is all too real and he’s on the hunt again. Because the nightmare he’s got planned for Sophie won’t end when she wakes up screaming. It won’t end. Ever.
