Идеалното семейство. Идеалната къща. Идеалният живот. От тях вече няма и следа.  Краят на октомври е и в Северозападна Пенсилвания властва сезонът на мрачното настроение. Въздухът е сив и натежал от дъждовни пръски или замъглен от снежни вихрушки. Слънчевите дни са рядкост, летните магазинчета са затворени, голф игрищата са тихи като гробища, яхтените пристани са като оголени кости с потрошените си дъски. А от няколко дни в горите край езерото Уилхелм се крие и убиец — отчаян, въоръжен, объркан. Човек, внезапно изгубил ума си. Довчерашен герой за родното си градче, днес прочутият писател и университетски преподавател Томас Хюстън е обявен за изверг, избил цялото си семейство. Сержант Райън...

Демарко не догадывается, что ему предстоит сражение не только с загадочным преступником, но и с демонами из собственного прошлого – грузом вины за гибель собственного сына и утраченный брак, тяжелыми воспоминаниями из детства и неспособностью открыть свои чувства даже самым близким людям. Сможет ли Райан преодолеть все сложности и не...

Что вынудило его совершить это? Расследованием занимается опытный профессионал Райан Демарко.

After the death of his beloved wife, a devastated Poe decides that a change of scenery is in order. He has been invited to Pittsburgh by a wealthy benefactor, Dr. Alfred Brunrichter, a man of intriguing contradiction who on the one hand was fascinated by subjects so macabre that even Poe did not wish to consider, while on the other hand was solicitous of Poe's comfort in every regard and was a local philanthropist and patron of the arts. Augie Dubbins, now a young man in search of adventure, joins Poe in order to keep an eye on his increasingly maudlin friend. After an exhausting journey across the length of Pennsylvania, their first glimpse of Pittsburgh is not a heartening one. The...

Yesterday, a local boy went missing in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Transplanted painter Charlotte Dunleavy was used to seeing him go into the woods, rifle in hand, to shoot at crows. Suffering from the debilitating aftereffects of a migraine, Charlotte is shrouded in a fog of pain and barely remembers the details of the day, just splinters of memory, as if they were a dream-but nothing concrete enough to help the local sheriff in his search. Outside of Charlotte's windows, the woods are peaceful, the play of light and dark among the leaves offering her inspiration for her art. But the truth can penetrate even the deepest shadows of a forest-and a killer's mind...
