College professor Paul Davis is still recovering after discovering a colleague driving with two murdered women in his car—and nearly becoming the killer’s next victim. Months later, Paul struggles with memory gaps, anxiety and the fear that his mind has not healed. Hoping to encourage his writing, his wife brings home a vintage typewriter, but Paul soon begins hearing its keys tapping during the night. Then disturbing messages appear, apparently from the dead women whose bodies he found. Are they reaching out, is someone manipulating him, or is trauma pulling him away from reality? As Paul searches for an explanation, the people closest to him become part of an increasingly dangerous puzzle. Linwood Barclay builds a tense psychological thriller about guilt, trust and the terrifying uncertainty of no longer knowing whether your own senses can be believed.
