The worst day of Tim Blake's life started out with him making breakfast for his seventeen-year-old daughter Sydney. Syd was staying with him while she worked a summer job
- even if he wasn't entirely sure what her job at the Just Inn Time motel actually was
- & Tim hoped this quality father-daughter time would somehow help her deal with his divorce. When she didn't arrive home at her usual time he thought she'd probably gone to the mall to hang with her friends. When she didn't answer her phone he began to worry. When she didn't come home at all he began to panic. & when the people at the motel said they had no Sydney Blake working there & never had he began to see his life going into freefall. If she hadn't been working at the motel every day what had she been doing? Something she couldn't
- or wouldn't
- tell her own father about? To find his daughter Tim doesn't need to simply track her down
- he needs to know who she really was & what could have made her step out of her own life without leaving a trace. Only one thing has him convinced the worst hasn't already happened: the fact that some very scary people seem just as eager as he is to find her. The question is: who's going to find her first?

In 1699 William Milmullen took his six pupils to the lakeside but only he returned after a creature rose up from the water & devoured the six boys right before his eyes. The whole town was shocked & terrified by the tragedy. Many were now too frightened to go out on the lake to fish & the town's economy was under threat. William Milmullen recovered from the shock of what he'd seen. He named the creature ' The Mourn' & declared himself ' Mourner'. He took upon himself the responsibility to appease the creature by feeding livestock into the lake & vowed his family would forever be responsible for the safety of the town & that every Milmullen son would take the mantle of Mourner at the age of 16. This novel is set in the present day & nobody believes in monsters anymore. These days the town is somewhat embarrassed about its monster stories & to many the Milmullen family is a bit of a joke.
