From Fantastic Fiction.
Joseph Vaughan's life has been dogged by tragedy. Growing up in the 1940s, he was at the centre of series of killings of young girls in his small rural community. The girls were taken, assaulted and left horribly mutilated. Barely a teenager himself, Joseph becomes determined to try to protect his community and classmates from the predations of the killer. But despite banding together with his friends as 'Guardians', he was powerless to prevent more murders - and no one was ever caught. Only after a full ten years did the nightmare end when the one of his neighbours is found hanging from a rope - with articles from the dead girls around him. Thankfully though, the killings finally ceased. Ill-fortune was not yet done with Joseph though and in desperation he leaves the town of his birth to forge a new life in New York. But the past won't leave him alone - for it seems that the real murderer still lives and is killing again. And the secret of his identity lies in Joseph's own history?

Many thanks to Flutterbies9 for registering this on my behalf, I chanced across a copy and was keen to bookcross it as I have noted many other bookcrossers praising R. J. Ellory's novels and in fact have been collecting them so I can read them chronologically. I didn't have time to read this copy myself before releasing it, but I am thrilled to have another BookCrossing copy which I shall be able to read later.
