The Throat

In "The Throat," acclaimed novelist Tim Underhill returns to his hometown of Millhaven, Illinois, after receiving a concerning call from his old army buddy, John Ransom. Ransom suspects a copycat killer is on the loose, echoing the infamous Blue Rose murders, and fears for his wife's safety. Teaming up with Tom Pasmore, a reclusive yet revered amateur sleuth, they delve into the town's dark secrets and uncover a far more dangerous threat than they anticipated. Peter Straub's masterful storytelling weaves together suspenseful elements from his previous works, "Koko" and "Mystery."
