A novel of compelling suspense. Professor Adam Lowry didn’ believe in spirits, or witches, or demons. Not until a mild spring evening when his hat disappeared, and suddenly he couldn’t keep in mind the last four hours of his existence. Now, the calm university town of Atworthy is definitely changing – slightly at first, then faster and more frighteningly every time he tries to remember. Lowry is usually pursued by a dark, secret evil that’s turning his whole globe against him although it whispers a caution from your shadows: If you find your hat you’ll find your four hours. If you discover your four hours then you will die…

“A classic story of creeping, surreal menace and horror… among the really, excellent types.” -Stephen King
