One night Rory sees a strange man only moments before another murder has taken place in the courtyard of Wexford. Police believe the man to be the prime suspect. She was with her roommate when she saw him but for some reason her roommate did not see him. She is the only one to have ever seen him. As she uncovers the truth about herself and the man she becomes entangled in his twisted game. What does he want with her and how can she stop him?
 * Book Summary:**

I really liked this book. It had a very creative and new plot which kept my reading constantly. It was very creepy but not the kind of creepy that made me want to stop reading it. I did not expect anything that happened it in and it was always changing and becoming more intense. It was a very good book and I am pretty sure there is going to be a sequel which I am very excited about.

 * To ski4life155: Seriously, isn't just fabulous to find a book that is not predictable? I loved the creepy atmosphere in this one very much, and I thought no other book would make me want to go to a boarding school in England as much as Harry Potter did... ;) -Hoodzie123 **
