Cameron Horne has the perfect life. Or does he? He's got the loving wife, the nice house and the good job. But lately, things aren't what they seem. Reality is beginning to unravel in front of Cam's very eyes. What starts as a car alarm waking him up every morning at 3:30 is now causing him to see things that may or may not be real. On one of these sleepless mornings, he encounters a stranger sitting in his back yard that delivers a cryptic message - "They're watching you through the phone" - without any further explanation. Cam begins to experience violent visions and unexplained loss of time. What is going on? What is real and what are delusions? Is this what it's like to lose your mind?

This is my first experience with Greg Gifune and I'm hooked. For me, Rogue evokes shades of the movie Angel Heart. The atmosphere is delightfully eerie and dreamlike. The character development and dialogue is excellent. Rogue sucks you in and will not let you put it down. The anticipation to figure out what is going on is too much. Five stars and I've already downloaded my next Gifune novel.
