Olivia's life became a nightmare the night the monster came.  He killed her mother and found her in her bedroom closet.  She was still there when Detective Brady came to investigate the homicide.  Although her father had no memory of committing the murder, he was convicted and sent to prison.  Now, as he is about to be released and is dying of brain cancer, her wants to tell his story.  He chooses Noah Brady, a true crime writer and son of the detective whose testimony helped convict him, to write it.  His daughter, Olivia, was adopted by her grandparents and taken to their camp in the Pacific Northwest to escape the publicity and notoriety of her famous parents.  Noah wants to interview her and all her family for the book.  Sam Tanner wants to see his daughter one more time.  Is he the murderer?  Does he plan to kill her, too?  The suspense is excellent, the relationships well-crafted, and the denouement is inordinately satisfying.
