You think your doors are locked. You think you’re safe. You’re wrong. A killer is in your house. There’s a killer in Shadylake. A murderer lives among the citizens in this small California mountain community. But no one noticed that one of them has an evil side—a black shadow. Even after the grisly 1996 triple homicides at a local masquerade party, the killer was presumed to be an outsider. No one wanted to admit that a murderer lived in their idyllic town. Four years later, a stranger arrives in Shadylake to rent the same house where the murders occurred—Hartley House. Alone, it was an unremarkable event but for the fact that Eve Collins bears a striking resemblance to one of the murder victims. Eve believes she’s safe behind the locked doors at Hartley House. She has no idea that the house has secret entrances. But the killer does. NOTE: Previously published as Too Many Secrets.
