Nowhere Man – Tour Sign Ups

Nowhere Man

by Rosie Genova

Genre: Suspense, Thriller

She escaped him once—and she’s been running ever since. But more than fifty years later, he’s about to catch up…

Allison Russo knows that older women become invisible, which is exactly how she likes it—the serial killer she escaped from as a child is out of prison and determined to track her down.

In the hot summer of 1966, twelve-year-old Ally loves the Mets, Spiderman comics, and Diana Ross. But Ally’s quiet existence in her working-class New Jersey town is shattered when she accepts a ride from teenage serial killer Steven Manning. Trapped in the car and driven to a desolate wood, Ally frantically fights off her attacker. Though she manages to save herself, she withdraws inside her locked house, telling no one about what happened. And despite the disappearance of two other girls that summer, she stays silent. But when Manning threatens her mother, Ally turns investigator, playing a dangerous cat-and-mouse game that ends in a terrifying Halloween night chase.

More than half a century later, Allison, now a mother and grandmother, gets a visit from retired police officer Hal Greenwood: Steven Manning was released on early parole. Greenwood, who arrested Manning years before, seeks her help with an unsolved murder case of a girl missing since the sixties, and another likely victim of the serial killer. Allison refuses, planning to change her identity and flee. Until a find in her attic turns out to be evidence from the cold case—and Manning begins stalking her daughter. Now Allison must once again face the demon in the rusty red Chevy. And prepare herself for a reckoning that’s long overdue…

 A dual-timeline, twisty story of psychological suspense inspired by a real-life case and the music of the sixties.
