Now thirty-four and living in Santa Fe with only misty memories of the past, she begins to receive pleas--by phone, through her TV, in her dreams: I am in a dark place, Jojo. Please come and help me. Heeding the disturbing appeals, Joanna is compelled to return to Montana, and to a strange childhood companion she had long forgotten. She isn't the only one drawn to the Montana farmstead. People from all walks of life have converged at the remote ranch. They are haunted, on the run, obsessed, and seeking answers to the same omniscient danger Joanna came to confront. All the while, on the outskirts of Rustling Willows, a madman lurks with a vision to save the future. Mass murder is the only way to see his frightening manifesto come to pass. Through a bizarre twist of seemingly coincidental circumstances, a band of strangers now find themselves under Montana's big dark sky. Their lives entwined, they face an encroaching horror. Unless they can defeat this threat, it will spell the end for humanity  aText in English  aBPL: John O'Connell Fund. 0aRancheszMontanavFiction912279 0aSerial murdererszMontanavFiction912280 0aFrontier and pioneer lifezMontanavFiction912281 0aStrangersvFiction912282 0aSurvivalvFiction96092 0aMontanavFiction97949 7aThrillers (Fiction)2lcgft9486 7aHorror fiction.2lcgft92964 7aNovels.2lcgft950  a.b174238162  2ddccBOOK  c28511d28511  2ddc4070aABELJbABELJcAFd2022-10-12l2oKOONp63966r2022-11-03s2022-11-01w2022-10-12yBOOK11
