Summer in San Francisco and a killer is on the loose. Twelve victims so far. Scrawled in each victim's blood, a single word: "Morningstar." Two innocents suddenly find their lives swept up in a maelstrom of madness and murder. Shelley Masterton -- her dreams invaded by a dead friend, one of the killer's victims -- becomes an unwitting recruit in a plan for revenge from beyond the grave. And freelance journalist Donovon Moon receives a phone call offering the scoop of a lifetime: Morningstar is on the line...and wants to talk. When Peter Atkins' debut novel Morningstar was first published in the U.K., the praise was unanimous. Clive Barker called it "Vividly imagined and stylishly realized -- a mingling of thriller and horror story that makes for an irresistible ride" and Neil Gaiman declared it to be "The best first novel I've read in a long time." Morningstar now reveals its terrors and wonders to a new generation of readers.
