A home to die for.
If it knew she was looking for it, then it was only a matter of time before it would come after her.
On the evening that a young woman moves to a small town, she is picked up by the side of a dark, lonely road by two detectives, only to be told that a murder had taken place minutes before.
When loner Alexandria Raffaello moved to Kenton, it was to build a home. After years of moving from place to place, she thought she had found somewhere to blend in. To hide. To call home.
But the night that she arrives, and becomes stranded as night approaches, she stumbles into multiple ongoing investigations into the disappearance of both a prominent businessman and a young teenager who ran from home, and a string of macabre deaths caused by an unknown animal prowling around town.
Though unwilling to get involved in town politics with other residents or the rumours floating around town, and more inclined to stick with herself, Alex finds herself at odds with members of Kenton's richer neighbourhoods.
As she is made aware of the watchful eyes of a pair of detectives and an earnest reporter, she becomes wary and makes an effort to lie low, only to find that within days of arriving, her name has become connected to too many of Kenton's secrets and known to too many.
She attempts to settle in to her new life in the poorest area in Kenton, and soon her friendship with her work colleague, the rough and tactless Frank Lovett, becomes the only one she can rely on, when they stumble on another chilling murder that has uncovered an unstable stack of lies housing the monsters living in town.
If Alex wants to survive, then she must find the answers to some of Kenton's questions, because she isn't the first to try to blend into the unremarkable town.
There was another, who did the same a year before...
