What if insidious evil flourished in the one place where you feel most safe? The chilling answer comes from New York Times bestselling master of suspense John Saul -- in a new novel that reminds you there is no place like home... for sheer terror.

The sudden tragic death of her husband leaves Caroline Evans alone in New York City to raise an eleven-year-old son and a twelve-year-old daughter on little money and even less hope. But then she meets and marries handsome, successful Anthony Fleming, who wins her heart and embraces her children. When Caroline settles her family into Anthony's spacious apartment on Manhattan's Central Park West, her fears of an uncertain future give way to a sense of abundant happiness. But soon, new terrors will come home to roost in the luxurious, exclusive building named The Rockwell. Midnight voices whisper of a cruel and hungry presence....

First, Caroline's daughter begins to suffer from recurring nightmares of strangers in her room at night. Then her son turns sullen at home and angry at school, spreading terrifying rumors about the stepfather who has shown him nothing but kindness. And when Caroline discover a startling secret about Anthony's past, it seems she, too, is falling victim to the creeping paranoia infecting her family. Should she doubt her perfect husband, their kindly fellow tenants, or her own sanity?

Does someone -- or something -- in her new home have sinister designs on Caroline and her children? Is her new life charmed or cursed?
