    Do dreams really come true? 
    Unfortunately for Lynn, they sometimes do. 
    Plagued for months by recurring dreams of a suspended angel brutally stripped of his wings, Lynn managed the visions as best she could, but when her daughters begin experiencing the same horrific dreams, she can no longer ignore the dark images that haunt her. Had she missed something on that first stealthy visit to the lab in Ottawa? Or had this brutal attack occurred elsewhere, out of reach of those who might save this nameless angel? Were Lynn’s earlier dreams a glimpse into the past, the present, or were they foreboding messages of things to come? 
    As for the dreams of others… 
    Kris never dreamed he would see Jana again, nor did he ever consider she could be a part of his life. Then, like a daydream… there she was, standing at the entrance of his new restaurant. 
    Thaddeus’s dream of creating a superior race hasn’t wavered, though his pursuit of Ms. Westlake has taken a detour. His interests have shifted now to Brazil and a remote branch of science. And while Thaddeus is away, the mice are playing. Lyndon’s affections for Lane have grown, so much so, he’s requested an alternate tracker investigate the latest lead on this allusive target. Loyalties, too, are shifting while lies, deception, and secrets come to the forefront. 
    And Dr. Stone’s dreams, they have taken on a vivid realness that may be affecting her ability to counsel her latest patient. 
    What would you do if you sensed someone was in pain? Would you risk your own life to find them—save them? What if the loyalties you believe were solid shifted because of your actions or inactions? Would you put yourself in danger to pursue the answer? What if your actions changed… everything?

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    Previously published as a Pinnacle Book under the pseudonym J. Knight. 
    Synopsis: The residents of a small town find that the secret to immortality is murder. 
    Welcome to Anderson. It's quiet here and that's how we like it. Except.... 
    Madge Duffy sliced her husband's throat last week. Thought she killed him, but then John walked out of the morgue none the worse for wear. The new preacher's calling it a "miracle," but I don't know. It isn't right. 
    I think there might be other people coming back, too. Like Deputy Haws, for one. He's got a bullet hole in his one good shirt and he won't talk about it. 
    You know Peg Culler down at the diner...the one with the little girl on life support? Well, she's talking about pulling the plug, and nobody ever thought she'd do that, not in a million years. She thinks it might be the only way to get her back. 
    Then there's that gang of kids that hangs around the reservoir...not one of them can look you in the eye without breaking into a cold sweat. They're keeping a secret, and it's got them all on edge. 
    Something's going on in this town of ours, something that makes your skin crawl and your teeth grind in the night. I don't know what it is, but I know this: 
    It scares me.
