For deep in the shadows in the dark of the night lurks something as big as life . . . and as real as death.<br><br>It has waited seven years for someone to come back to the rambling lakeside house called Pinecrest, which has stood empty since its last owner went missing. For upscale Chicago couple Dan and Merrill Brewster, the old midwestern manse is an ideal retreat, and for their kids, Eric and Marci, it&#8217;s the perfect place to spend a lazy summer exploring. Which is how Eric and his teenage friends discover the curious cache of discarded objects stowed in a hidden room of Pinecrest&#8217;s carriage house. The bladeless hacksaws, shadeless lamps, tables with missing legs, headless axe handle, and other unremarkable items add up to a pile of junk. Yet someone took the trouble to inventory each worthless relic in a cryptic ledger. It has all the makings of a great mystery&#8211;whispering, coaxing, demanding to be solved.<br><br>But the more the boys devote themselves to restoring the forgotten possessions and piecing together the puzzle behind them, the more their fascination deepens into obsession. Soon their days are consumed with tending the strange, secret collection&#8211;while their nights become plagued by ever more ghastly dreams, nightmares that soon seep into reality. And when a horrifying discovery surfaces, so does the chilling truth&#8211;about the terrifying events that rocked the town seven years before, the mysterious disappearance of Pinecrest&#8217;s last resident, and a twisted legacy with a malevolent life of its own . . . and a bottomless hunger for new victims. 519375 2006 In the Dark of the Night: A Novel total:352|5:81|4:102|3:114|2:43|1:12| 352 1253 501 45 3 1 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 18 21:23:15 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 29 19:51:04 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jun 18 07:28:35 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 08:39:03 -0700 2009 Saul in the past has proven that ...more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Fri Dec 14 19:33:50 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 14 19:36:09 -0800 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 14 08:20:31 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 14 08:29:10 -0800 2008
