"In a cottage overlooking the windswept Maine coast, Wilder Harlow has begun the last book he will ever write. It is the story about the sun-drenched summer days of his youth in Whistler Bay and the bloodstained path of the killer that stalked his small vacation town. About the terrible secret he and his companions, Nat and Harper, discovered entombed in the coves off the bay. And how the pact they swore that day echoed down the decades ... But the more Wilder writes, the less he trusts himself and his memory. He starts to see things that can't be real--notes hidden in the cottage, from an old friend now dead; a woman with dark hair drowning in the icey waters below, calling for help; entire chapters he doesn't recall typing, appearing overnight ... No longer able to trust his own eyes, Wilder begins to fear that this will not only be his last book, but the last thing he ever does"--Dust jacket flap.
