Book description
'It sounded easy. Find a missing kid. Eighteen years old. Only he was
dead. Died at birth. So why was his mother so sure he was still alive?
Alive and calling for help. The assignment took me to Hell. And that's
where I'd come from, only I didn't know it at the time. Matter of fact,
there were a lot of things I didn't know about myself. I just thought I
was different, not the kind you'd expect to be a private investigator.
But I was wrong. Like I'd been wrong for most of my uncharmed life.
Because I was more than that. And the answers were coming, coming fast
and they scared me shitless. Murder, mutilation, depravity and horrors
that almost OTHERS at Perfect Rest and every thought I had about life
itself changed. It's a story you might hate. Because it's too close to
the real truth. And it might frighten you so badly you will never sleep
in an unlit room again. But it'll make you think. I promise you that. I
only hope it won't make you think too much. Because that's when the
nightmares will begin. Yeah, that's when everything will change. Your
choice.'
