In the #1 NY Times bestselling authors from the Talisman, “an intelligent…suspenseful page-turner” (The Wall Street Journal) from “two get good at craftsmen, each at the top of his game” (The Washington Post).

Twenty years ago, a son named Jack Sawyer traveled to a parallel world called the Territories to save lots of his mom and her Territories “Twinner” from an agonizing death that could have brought cataclysm towards the other world. Now Jack port can be a retired Los Angeles homicide detective surviving in about Dark House the nearly non-existent hamlet of Tamarack, Wisconsin. He has no recollection of his adventures in the Territories, and was compelled to keep the police pressure when an odd, happenstance event threatened to awaken those remembrances.

When a group of gruesome murders occur in western Wisconsin that are similar to those committed several decades ago with a madman named Albert Fish, the killer is dubbed “the Fishman,” and Jack’s buddy, the local chief of law enforcement, begs Jack to help the inexperienced drive find him. But are these brand-new killings merely the work of the disturbed individual, or includes a incomprehensible and malignant force been unleashed in this quiet town? What can cause Jack’s inexplicable waking dreams-if that’s what they are-of robins’ eggs and red feathers? It’s almost as if somebody is trying to simply tell him something. As this cryptic message becomes increasingly difficult to ignore, Jack port is drawn back again to the Territories and to his personal hidden past, where he might discover the soul-strength to enter a terrifying home at the end of a deserted tract of forest, there to encounter the obscene and ferocious evils sheltered within it.
