Ellis Benjamin

In a rain-soaked university dorm, a gifted student's farewell poem vanishes-and a cup of tea freezes solid in twenty-eight-degree heat. Years later, Ethan Hayes returns with a secret diagnosis the world calls the "Ebola of the mind, " and the one person he can't stop orbiting is his former teacher, Sophie Parker. But Sophie's brother-Adrian Parker, the cold, brilliant doctor who once held Ethan's life in his hands-steps back into the room, and old debts wake up.
As Ethan's perfectly polite smile hides something violent and hungry, one question hangs over every scene: is the haunting in this story supernatural. or is it the kind of love that destroys whoever gets too close?
