YA
In this chilling novel, five sisters go about their lives, unaware of a man's obsession with them until one becomes his prisoner. Alternating chapters tell the story from three of the sisters' perspectives and the man's point of view, told in measured, creepy prose. Mazer crafts a skillful psychological examination of a disturbed, dangerous predator and a family that experiences trauma.
