Darkness Peering - Audio Cassette - Abridged Author:Alice Blanchard, Patricia Kalember (Narrator) The dead girl lay faceup on the edge of the pond, a snake coiled in the muddy hollow of one arm. For Police Chief Nalen Storrow, it was a shocking reminder of the violence he thought he'd left behind when he moved his wife and children to Flowering Dogwood, Maine, a town where no one locks their doors. And now Storrow's search for the tr... more »uth leads to a chilling possibility...the murderer might be his own son, Billy.
Eighteen years later the murder of the girl in the pond has never been solved. Now a different cop is obsessed with the case -- Rachel Storrow, Billy's grown sister. But no sooner does Rachel reopen the investigation than another young woman disappears. Once again Billy is a suspect, though far from the only suspect in town. The harder Rachel peers behind Flowering Dogwood's picture-perfect facade -- at the center of which is the respected Winfield School for the Blind and Special Needs--the more the mystery deepens.
A cunning psychopath is moving undetected through Rachel's hometown, taking her on a journey of suspicion, doubt, and bone-deep fear. Plunged into a world where darkness follows even the innocent, Rachel must unearth secrets that span decades and face a staggering personal truth.
