In the latest thriller by Meredith Doench we encounter one of the
creepiest villains in crime fiction. In a fictional Ohio community
someone is abducting children. There's a pattern to it; the abductees
are six years old, they have been abducted six years apart, and when one
gets abducted a teenaged victim has been left behind at the abduction
site, dead. This disturbing premise is at the center of this new novel
by Meredith Doench and for the police officer who is investigating this
latest abduction, it feels personal. This is one of the darkest stories
yet from this author. During this interview she confessed that doing the
research for this story was very disturbing for her.
