In a cottage overlooking the windswept Maine coast, Wilder Harlow has begun the last book he will ever write. It is the story about the sun-drenched summer days of his youth in Whistler Bay, and the blood-stained path of the killer that stalked his small vacation town. About the terrible secret he and his companions, Nat and Harper, discovered entombed in the coves off the bay. And how the pact they swore that day echoed down the decades, forever shaping their lives.

Une petite fille disparaît. Un homme solitaire et différent est suspecté. Quels secrets recèle l'étrange maison de Needless Street ? À travers cette lecture multivoix, explorez les tréfonds de l'âme humaine. Dans l'impasse de Needless Street, à la lisière des ombres de la forêt, se dresse une maison. Isolée, solitaire, à l'image de ses habitants qui vivent à moitié reclus derrière ses murs. Parfois y résonnent les rires d'une petite fille, parfois ce sont les miaulements d'un chat. Parfois on aperçoit le propriétaire, Ted Bannerman, arpentant le jardin de sa démarche craintive et nerveuse.
