Book Description:
A popular priest lies dead of a heroin overdose in a Cleveland apartment, following an apparent tryst with a high-priced call girl.

A freelance journalist recognizes a great story--salacious and saleable--in the cleric's demise...and follows it into the twisted, terrifying mind of a psychopath.

While in an affluent suburb a world away, a cryptic threat written in a great poet's words appears on the computer screen of a long-suffering wife and mother. And suddenly she knows that a nightmare stands just outside her door, waiting to devour everything she loves.

Because twenty years ago, something terrible happened at a Halloween night gathering of brilliant, arrogant youths...Because it is reunion year, a time of remembrance and celebration; a time of reckoning and poetic justice...And the party is just beginning.

This book started out great, then it bogged down and got kind of confusing. I stayed with it as it was a short read. A WOW ending, though. Fans of Richard Montanari should enjoy it.

It's Halloween 20 years later~and an unknown killer has returned to get his revenge from the college friends who ruined his life...

This is the first book I have read by Montanari, but it won't be the last! This thriller is top-notch: a killer is seeking revenge for a horrible incident that happened to the girl he loved in college twenty years earlier. The killer's identity is well-hidden and the action is non-stop. I will definitely be reading more from this author.
