Tom Sullivan spent the first ten years of his life under the roof of a violent, alcoholic father and an equally unstable mother. His only refuge was the beauty of the young woman who lived next door. Cassie, The Halloween Girl. Tom could swear they shared a mysterious, unnatural connection. From his window he'd admire her dark beauty, but his prying eyes showed him too much, and left him forever a marked man.

Twenty-four years later, Tom finds himself relocated to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, but is unable to shake the ghosts of his past, such as his dead parents, the shadowy red-eyed man, and the burning desire to know whatever became of Cassie. Why, on the day his mother was arrested for murdering his father, had she left him such a cryptic note?
