Dans les recoins sombres de l'esprit humain se cachent les cauchemars et les mystères les plus fascinants. En 1986, Eddie et ses amis grandissent dans un paisible village anglais, passant leur temps à faire du vélo et à chercher des sensations fortes. Ils communiquent par un code : des bonhommes dessinés à la craie. Un jour, un signe mystérieux les conduit à des restes humains, bouleversant leur vie à jamais. Trente ans plus tard, Eddie et ses amis reçoivent des lettres contenant un message écrit dans ce même code d'autrefois. Ils pensent d'abord à une blague, jusqu'à ce qu'un des leurs disparaisse dans des circonstances inexpliquées. Eddie comprend alors que la seule façon de se sauver d'un destin similaire est de découvrir ce qui s'est réellement passé des années auparavant. Ce récit captivant mêle habilement le présent et les souvenirs, chaque personnage est bien développé et intrigant, et les rebondissements surprendront même les lecteurs les plus aguerris.

One night, Annie went missing. Disappeared from her own bed. There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst. And then, miraculously, after forty-eight hours, she came back. But she couldn't, or wouldn't, say what had happened to her ... Something happened to my sister. I can't explain what. I just know that when she came back, she wasn't the same. She wasn't my Annie. I didn't want to admit, even to myself, that sometimes I was scared to death of my own little sister. Now ... The email arrived in my inbox two months ago.
