It was an unexpected friendship. Corporate CEO, Katherine Lantz, lives in a New York City high rise with her adoring husband, five children and three dogs. Sadie Walters spent fifteen years caring for her invalid parents. Now she lives alone in their country cottage, twenty miles from her nearest neighbor. When the pair meet at an online needlepoint forum, they feel an instant bond. A year later, Sadie invites Katherine for a long weekend of conversation, needlepoint and country tranquility. It’s a perfect weekend until Sadie disappears, the power fails and Katherine is left alone with the light of the moon and the howls of wolves coming closer and closer. If Katherine wants to see her family again, she will need to muster more than boardroom savvy.

The explanations are usually simple. Perhaps the shadow of a bird or the outline of a tree.” “I know what I saw, Agent Solstice.” “Even if serpentine aliens did come out of cracks in the moon, it would be impossible to view them from earth.” “They must be enormous.” “And where are they now?” “It’s daytime, Agent Solstice.
