Book Overview
At twenty seven, Becky Bale feels that her life is moving in the right direction. Recently engaged, comfortable in her nine to five, she works a suicide hotline as a volunteer several evenings a week in Houma, Louisiana. Then she takes a call that ends with the caller, Stan, telling a joke followed by a gunshot. The police think it was a hoax but Becky isn't sure. With a clue from the call, she and her fiance Jeff drive out to the swamps, where they find the ramshackle house the call came from and that Stan is dead. His killer, Henry Hank, is a good old boy psychopath with the gift of gab. The night quickly turns into a waking nightmare as Henry kills Jeff. Pursued by Henry, Becky manages to escape into the swamps where Henry isn't the only threat, and where Becky has to use all of her wits and resources to survive before the drama plays out in the empty past midnight streets of Houma.
