The Remains

She thought the past was buried. But some nightmares never stay dead. From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Vincent Zandri comes The Remains: The Editor's Cut — a haunting, edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller that will grip you from the first chilling page. Thirty years ago, artist Rebecca Underhill and her twin sister Molly stumbled into the woods near their childhood home — and into the hands of a monster. The man who abducted them, Joseph William Whalen, was arrested, convicted, and forgotten. Or so Rebecca thought. Now, decades later, as Halloween approaches in Albany, New York, a new terror emerges. Whalen has been released — and women are going missing again. When anonymous text messages begin flooding Rebecca's phone with one cryptic command — Remember — her buried trauma resurfaces with deadly consequence. But Whalen isn't the only one watching her.
