What really happened to Inis St. Erme? What was his fatal mistake? Was it when he and his bride-to-be first set out to elope in Vermont? Or did his deadly error occur later, when they picked up a terrifying hitch-hiker, or when the three stopped at ‘Dead Bridegroom’s Pond’ for a picnic?

The more he reflects, the more his own memories become increasingly uncertain, as he veers into the irrational territory of pure terror…

BOOKLIST starred review
Thoroughly gripping from first page to last ... When the full story is finally revealed in this disturbing nightmare of a whodunnit, it will leave readers reeling ... Outstanding ... a must-read masterpiece
