Description
A dark novel about an obsessive love, greed, and monstrous decisions that a person is capable of making for the sake of loved ones unfolds in a sleepy provincial town where darkness hides behind every corner.
Peter Larkin, an avant-garde sculptor—simply “Lark” to his own— is the main local celebrity of Wofford-Falls and the constant center of any company. Known far beyond his hometown, he returns home—to his sister Betsy, who is also talented and strange, and much more closed off than her brother, preferring to keep to herself.
Lark’s trip to meet an obscenely wealthy client begins like an ordinary matter. Even the grim guard at the gates of the enormous secluded estate doesn’t seem unusual—until he starts a video. On the screen, in real time, Lark watches as unknown people kidnap Betsy.
He is told that his sister is still alive, but now her fate is entirely in his hands. Then an old handwritten book is handed to him with a condition: do everything that is written in it—and Betsy will be released. Only don’t dare stop, even if, to do so, he will have to sacrifice the entire town.
