Fifteen-year-old Matt Moore seems to have it all: a loving mother, a caring stepfather, a host of friends, and a growing relationship with the most beautiful girl in school. All signs point to a bright future, until fate intervenes. After a sudden fire leaves Matt's senile and troubled grandmother homeless, she moves in with the family. Her ceaseless demands cause unrelieved tension - and with her comes a shameful secret about her daughters that traps Matt between a dead aunt who haunts him and his own mother, who seeks redemption for her sister's sins--and her own. Matt transforms from a gregarious teenager to a hostile loner prone to fits of rage--tortured by chilling memories and haunted by nightmares. Then a shocking tragedy shatters the family beyond repair, propelling Matt's mother and grandmother into a final, explosive confrontation...a showdown in which old wounds will be viciously torn open--and a horrific shadow from the past will spring an implacable life of its own, clawing toward Matt with the ferocious inevitability of death itself.

It has some disturbing parts, a very good story, mean hateful sick old Grandmother. Ghosts. Opinioned, closed minded, arrogant Neanderthals. Some of the people in this story really needed to have that stick removed and then be beaten with it. I would say some of this was even a little creepy.

My first John Saul book and I was impressed, this book was a page-turner and I wonder why I hadn't heard of him before.
