As nasty as I knew Peter Terry to be, I never expected him to start kidnapping kids. Much less a sweet, funny little boy with nothing to protect him but a few knock-kneed women, two rabbits and a staple gunβ¦
Itβs psychology professor Dylan Fosterβs favorite day of the academic yearβ¦graduation day. And her little friend Christine Zocciβs sixth birthday. But the joyful summer afternoon goes south when a little boy is snatched from a neighborhood park, setting off a chain of events that seen to lead nowhere.
The police are baffled, but Christineβs eerie connection with the kidnapped child sends Dylan on a chilling investigation of her own. Is the pasty, elusive stranger Peter Terry to blame? Exploding light bulbs, the deadly buzz of a Texas rattlesnake, and the vivid, disturbing dreams of a little girl are just pieces of a long trail of tantalizing clues leading Dylan in her dogged search for the truth.
βLike water rising to a boil, My soul To Keepβs suspense sneaks up on youβ¦before you know it, youβre in the thick if a frightening dramaβ¦Superbly crafted.β
