AN OBSERVER BEST BOOK OF YEAR


Ward's most complex and brilliant book yet, hailed as a darkly moving and heartfelt exploration of obsession by the GUARDIAN. This gripping tale delves into the lives of childhood companions Wilder Harlow and the enigmatic Daggerman, who stalked their New England town. It also explores the tumultuous relationship between Wilder and his one-time friend, Sky, who stole his unfinished memoir and turned it into a bestselling novel, only to disappear without a trace.


As Wilder begins to write his final book, he stumbles upon notes written in Sky's signature green ink, and the events in his manuscript begin to mirror the present in eerie ways. He starts to question if Sky is haunting him, or if there is a mysterious woman drowning in the cove, unseen by anyone else. With his grip on reality slipping away, Wilder fears that this book may not only be his last, but also the last thing he ever does.
