The Cypress House

The Cypress House

Arlen Wagner has seen it in men before-a trace of smoke in their eyes that promises imminent death. He is never wrong.<br><br>So when he awakens on a train one hot Florida night and sees death's telltale sign in the eyes of his fellow passengers, he abandons the train with 19-year-old Paul Brickhill. Soon, they stranded at the Cypress House-directly in the path of a hurricane. There are much deadlier threats than the storm in this place, and Arlen's eerie gift warns that they'll never leave. From its chilling beginning to terrifying end, <i>The Cypress House </i>is a story of relentless suspense from "one of the best of the best" (Michael Connelly).
