  <default-description>&lt;p&gt;A freak storm has spawned three tornadoes that are bearing down on the town of Summerville.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Yet under the cover of the storm looms a much more ominous threat: A vindictive killer known as Red who's left a string of victims in his wake and is now bent on exacting his final revenge on the unsuspecting town.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But there is an enigma surrounding Red that the FBI is unwilling to admit-closely guarded secrets of something gone terribly wrong beneath the skin of Summerville. Secrets that will destroy far more than one small town.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Wendy Davidson is caught in the middle. She's a recovering cult survivor who takes refuge in Summerville on her way to visit her estranged mother. And with her, four strangers, any of whom could be the next victim . . . or the killer. &lt;/p&gt;</default-description>

This one, like House, is seriously creepy and has a sort of distant tie to The Circle Trilogy.

Emily, which is one of the main characters, finds herself in a real/unreal world that she can't make sense of. She feels lost, alone, helpless, and confused.

    <body><![CDATA[After reading Dekker's Thr3e a couple of years ago I was really looking forward to digging into another one of his.  Unfortunately as good as Dekker is this book only deserves about 2.5 stars. Dekker is definitely the master of suspense and kept me guessing until the end but the convoluted story and...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60646224">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love Dekker's psychological thrillers! This one was a great read that I couldn't put down, just like the rest.  It was with this one and the one I read following that my eyes were opened to the connectedness of many of Dekker's stories.  I didn't even realize it, but my dad pointed out that it was...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56512401">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a very good book for the battle of good and evil.  Ted Dekker does a great job with battles of good and evil.  You are sucked into the plot and the characters.  This one had an especially good story line that keeps you guessing up until the last chapter!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I just finished this book last night. I literally read it in jsut a few days because it was such a page turner. I have a hard time understanding the reviews saying Dekker is a terrible writer.....I definitely beg to differ.

    <body><![CDATA[While it drops you right into the story and moves at a fast pace, I was constantly thinking where is this headed and couldn't figure out the real story line.  Maybe it's just me!  The story isn't boring, there is lots of action and the ending/wrapup made it worth the read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[AHHH! I loved this one <em>so<em> much!!! When I finished this book it was eleven o'clock at night and I was so freaked I couldn't move. I was breathing so hard and I was so excited. The plot was brilliant. The twists were so unexpected. One of the best, if not the best, that I have read. <strong>I LOVE Dekker!!!<strong></strong></strong></em></em><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40177246">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A bit of a strange story again from Ted Dekker, but a good read.  I find it clever how he brings one thing into another, like the names of the characters (eg. Red, or Black in Showdown) are the names of the Circle Trilogy Books.]]></body>
