Years ago, murder struck Wilton, Maine, when Katie Sanford’s husband was convicted of killing Jenny Robbins, wife of Chief of Police Jake Robbins, then died himself in prison. Memories are long in Wilton, and it’s been difficult to keep the tragedy in the past, particularly in the wake of a hurricane which has wreaked havoc on the quiet town. Since its founding, Wilton has had a tradition of creating a time capsule every fifty years, and the storm unearthed the most recent capsule. As the editor of the local paper, Katie joins Chief Robbins to supervise its opening. Neither of them is prepared for the macabre set of predictions, dating back to months before Jenny’s murder, that they find inside—someone predicted her death, as well as eleven other tragedies, which are still occurring even after the death of Katie’s husband. Suddenly, Katie has reason to hope that her husband might not have been guilty of Jenny’s murder after all. But as she and Chief Robbins race to stop the next predictions from coming true, they find themselves caught in a terrifying mind game with no rules…and life or death consequences.

“Narrator Steitzer, who has recorded several of Rosenfelt’s recent novels, uses a strong, resonant voice for the stalwart Jake. The police chief narrates much of the book, starting out casually and naturally, but becoming more emotional as the mysterious killer tightens the frame. Steitzer takes an appropriately more detached approach to the objective chapters. The men who work for Jake speak in different shades of gruff. The unsympathetic mayor sounds like the boisterous phony the author describes. Reporter Matt Higgins is aggressively ambitious. The result is a entertaining whodunit.”

“Rosenfelt’s stand-alone thriller is just as good as his series fiction. He excels at creating fascinating plots and telling his stories with crisp writing that’s a pleasure to read. The plot of his new book has a relentless sense of urgency that captures readers’ attention early on and never lets go.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars)“Descriptions of Rosenfelt’s latest stand-alone: Spooky. Creepy. Edgy. Chilling. Shuddery. What more could anyone want?…Highly recommended for readers craving that elusive ‘something different.’
