Description
Joseph Vaughan's life has been dogged by tragedy. Growing up in the 1950s, he was at the centre of a series of killings of young girls in his small rural community. Barely a teenager himself, Joseph becomes determined to try to protect his community and classmates from the predations of the killer. But he was powerless to prevent more murders - and no one was ever caught. Only after a full ten years did the nightmare end when one of his neighbours is found hanging from a rope - with articles from the dead girls around him. Ill-fortune was not yet done with Joseph though, and in desperation he leaves to forge a new life in New York. But the past won't leave him alone - for it seems that the real murderer still lives and is killing again. And the secret of his identity lies in Joseph's own history...
