First published 1993
Lee Montana thought she had found safety at her sister Rosie's farm in the Taconic Hills. The rural setting promised peace and distance from whatever troubles drove her there. Then the gifts begin arriving. Each delivery brings something more disturbing than the last, anonymous packages that make Lee's skin crawl. She cannot see her tormentor's face or know his name, but his presence grows stronger with every horrifying token he leaves behind. Rosie becomes entangled in the nightmare as the stranger's attention shifts to include both sisters. The farm that once offered refuge now feels like a trap. Lee and Rosie discover that running from a stalker only works until he decides to follow. They must confront what it means to live as prey, never knowing when their hunter will emerge from the shadows or what he plans to do when he finally reveals himself.
