Book description
For author Martin Stillwater, life couldn't be more perfect. He and
Paige are happy together, and their two daughters, Emily and Charlotte,
are intelligent and healthy. At last, Martin's novels are achieving
long-hoped-for levels of success. So why does he feel such dread,
experience sudden blackouts? There must be a simple explanation. Mustn't
there? The killer doesn't know his own name, only the name he uses. He
has no family, no friends, no home. He cannot recall who gives him his
assignments, and he doesn't know why his targets must die. Sometimes, in
despair, he is overwhelmed by his loneliness and tortured by the
meaningless of his life. Now, however, he senses that in a town he can't
yet envision, a life awaits him, a place to call home, with family and
friends. Charlotte knows something is wrong: the man moves and sounds
like Daddy, but he doesn't smile as quickly or as often as usual. And
when he does smile, he seems to be pretending. Daddy isn't Daddy. Dean
