About this item
A pulse-pounding, terrifying rollercoaster ride of a supernatural thriller—a remarkable debut novel from a blazing talent that will keep readers spellbound Sooner or later, the dead catch up. . . . Judas Coyne was a collector. The bizarre, the unusual, the grotesque: A cookbook for cannibals. A used hangman's noose. A snuff film. Usually the objects were sent by the black-clad fans who made his metal band a legend and made him rich. But this time, when his personal assistant told him there was a ghost for sale on the Internet, Jude didn't think twice. But he should have. Of all the ghosts around him—the abusive father, the battered, resentful child Jude once was, the bandmates he betrayed, Anna, the suicidal girl he loved and dumped—this new one means to haunt him all the way to hell. His new acquisition—delivered to his doorstep in a black heart-shaped box—is Anna's vengeful stepdaddy. Martin Craddock swears he's going to settle up with Jude for ruining his daughter's life. Craddock is everywhere: on the other side of the bedroom door; in Jude's restored vintage Mustang; outside his window, on his television screen. In his hand , a gleaming razorblade swinging from a chain. And now the jaded rock star who's seen it all, done it all, has never been so afraid. . . .
