Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a San Francisco Web-design drone and has landed him a new job working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything; instead they simply borrow impossibly obscure volumes from strange corners of the store, all according to some elaborate, long-standing arrangement with the gnomic Mr. Penumbra. The store must be a front for something larger, Clay concludes, and soon he's embarked on a complex analysis of the customers' behaviour.

Dertien dagen om een moord op te lossen. Dertien dagen om alles in twijfel te trekken. Dertien dagen voor de duisternis neerdaalt. Vijfentwintig jaar geleden werden drie jongens ontvoerd en meegenomen in de donkere bossen van Hoh River. Eén van hen kwam nooit meer terug. Wanneer een psychopaat toeslaat, gaat de jonge rechercheur Alice Madison, net nieuw op de afdeling Moordzaken, terug naar Hoh River om de zaak op te lossen. Daarvoor moet ze alles wat ze tijdens haar opleiding geleerd heeft loslaten en haar instinct volgen. Maar de tijd zit haar angstaanjagend dicht op de hielen. Zal ze erin slagen nog een moord te voorkomen?

Set against a backdrop of impending doom, the narrative explores the weight of foretelling and the consequences of choices made in light of prophecies. Characters grapple with their destinies, as past actions intertwine with future outcomes, revealing deep connections between fate and free will. The story delves into themes of hope, sacrifice, and the struggle for redemption, inviting readers to ponder the significance of knowledge and the power of belief in shaping one's path.

The stunning new thriller from one of the world's bestselling authors.
