Watching John

About this book

*No one is perfect. Good and evil live in us all. Which acts will define us in the end? Someone needed to stand up for the children.* John knows what it costs when no one does. He saw his sister pay the price. And once you’ve seen the trademarks of a monster, you can’t unsee them. John is the man that flies under the radar. He works in home security, silently watching other people’s lives unfold on screens. Their routines become his. Until he notices something: mundane family life that hides the evil lurking just beneath. The pattern is familiar. The air is heavy with secrets. A little girl trapped in a nightmare. A man desperate to reclaim control over a world that makes him feel weak. When the system fails yet another little girl, John steps in. The deeper he goes, the harder it becomes to tell whether he is protecting the innocent—or becoming the very thing he hunts. Another home security video, another man aglow in his computer light, sending nauseating messages to a child in a chatroom. It never ends. Once you’ve seen it, vanquishing monsters isn’t a choice. It’s fate.
