"The terrifying sequel to the acclaimed New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling novel Chasing the Boogeyman"-- - Simon and Schuster
The âworthy and frightening sequelâ (Stephen King) to the acclaimed and âunforgettableâ (Harlan Coben) New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling novel Chasing the Boogeyman.
Back in the summer of 1988, a young Richard Chizmar was catapulted into the center of a living nightmare as the serial killer Joshua Gallagherâdubbed by the media as âThe Boogeymanââstalked his tranquil Maryland town. A lot has changed in the intervening years.
These days, Chizmar enjoys a certain level of celebrity and notoriety himself, being the only person that an incarcerated Josh Gallagher will speak to on or off the record. Chizmar likes to believe that heâs doing the world a public service by visiting Gallagher in prison, as there are plenty of other nameless victims out there who Gallagher might finally admit to killing and bring closure to grieving loved ones, and a dark rhythm and routine begin to take hold. But Chizmar eventually finds thereâs a price to be paid for dancing with the devil, when a masked figure with all the hallmarks of Gallagherâs reign of terror from thirty years ago now leaves a horrifying calling card in front of Chizmarâs home, and itâs clear thereâs a new player on the board in the ongoing game that the Boogeyman controlsâ¦
A riveting, haunting sequel to the New York Times bestselling thriller Chasing the Boogeyman, this is a tale of obsession and the adulation of evil, exploring modern societyâs true crime infatuation with unflinching honesty, sparing no one from the glare of the spotlight. Will those involved walk away from the story of a lifetime in order to keep their loved ones safe? Or will they once again be drawn into a killerâs web? As the story draws to its shattering conclusion, only one person holds all the answersâand he just may be the most terrifying monster of them all.
