Publisher's Synopsis
Death is not the end. And now it's calling to him.There is a man living in the mountains, wanting to die, but knowing he must not. Every day he looks out from his balcony, down to the lake far below, and every night he dreams of the peace it would bring. But the risk is too great. He must make amends. His purgatory must continue. Out in the winter-dead forest, a man from his past is watching, waiting for the call. Waiting to pay his final debt. A thousand miles away, Elliott Holt wakes up in a boat on a lake in a forgotten corner of the country. He has no memory of how he got there, just an overwhelming feeling of grief. And by his hand, the name of a girl is scratched into the hull. The pieces have been set in motion to bring together forces in the world that were never destined to touch, a collision that will reach into death itself and change the very fabric of our existence.
