From Wiliam Malmborg, author of the bestselling novels Jimmy, Daddy's Little Girl and The Girl Who Played with the Ouija Board, comes a new twisted thriller about a traumatized war veteran and the girl he keeps locked-up in a straitjacket.
It was supposed to be a simple mission. Josiah was to go to Joel's home and kill him. But then Joel's daughter showed up while he was dismembering the body, changing everything.
Mel went to her father's house thinking it would simply be for the night; a much-needed escape from her mother and her new boyfriend. Instead, it turned into a nightmare that she never imagined possible, one that now has her strapped into a straitjacket in a second floor bedroom of an old farm house.
Josiah doesn't know what to do with the girl he brought back home with him. Normally he gets instructions letting him know what his next mission is, but now The Father has gone silent, almost as if he is awaiting something. But what? A message? A sign?
Mel doesn't know why she is being kept in a straitjacket, but whatever the reason, she doesn't like it and wants it to end. To make that happen, she needs to free herself while the man is away. Easier said than done. Worse yet, her struggles seem to have caught the attention of someone else in the house; someone who is now slowly creeping up the stairs.
