A novel of gripping psychological suspense, where the fear presents a dramatic contrast to the excellently drawn family life. Novelist Emma Roth moves from the city with her scientist husband and football mad son into an isolated Victorian house near a suburban town. An author of ghost stories, Emma has no belief in the supernatural until inexplicable things begin to happen. Through her computer strange messages are given, her manuscript is rewritten, her son seems to be threatened, and a past tragedy seems to hover over the present. Emma Roth is both haunted and hunted, and the unravelling of the drama is both spellbinding and satisfying.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 348 pages. In the common course of events, people choose houses. Sometimes, though, it does n't work that way. Sometimes houses choose people: They reach out, they whisper, they entice and enfold. Novelist Emma Roth was convinced that New York City was the only place to live, until the day she encountered the old Victorian mansion overlooking the Long Island Sound. Her husband, Roger, a chaos physicist, was e ntranced by the ever-changing convergence of land, water, and air; their son, Za ck, by a backyard large enough for a real game of soccer. But for Emma, it was t he octagonal tower library, whose panoramic view suggested a sort of omniscience no writer could resist. Yet no sooner do they move into their dream house than the seemingly impossible occurs. Characters in a computer game address cruel per sonal remarks to Emma. Her manuscript is tampered with, her home invaded, her fa mily threatened. Before long it is obvious that her tormentor not only has acces s to her home and her computer's hard drive, but also to her innermost thoughts, secrets, and fears. Hers is an intimate enemy, both vicious and elusive. Becaus e these things happen only when Emma is alone in the house, she is driven to que stion her own sanity. Could Roger be right when he hints that it's all in her he ad? Local rumor has it that the house is haunted, but Emma, a writer of ghost st ories herself, no more believes in real ghosts than professional magicians belie ve in magic. As the trespasses into her life grow more bizarre and more dangerou s, suspicion is cast in ever-widening arcs, until Emma is left to question every relationship she has, including her marriage. Suspicion is an irresistible and addictively compelling tale about a woman who is both haunted and hunted. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6950ao
