THE BOOKMARK
What happens when a story refuses to end with the final page?
A string of mysterious deaths grips Chicago. Detective Andrew Hudginson and his partner, Ben Turner, soon discover that the victims are linked by the same strange object: a bookmark that reveals something different in the hands of every reader — their deepest desire.
But the bookmark does more than show people what they want. It brings elements of the story they are reading into the real world, turning what first appears to be a gift into something with deadly consequences.
As Andrew and Ben try to understand how the object works, the trail leads to the history of a British family, a secret guarded for centuries, and nearly seven hundred years back to Damascus. The closer they come to the truth, the clearer it becomes that the bookmark’s reappearances are no accident — and that every answer opens another door.
Andrew must uncover not only where the bookmark came from, but why it has surfaced now, and how long anyone can control a force that gives people exactly what they desire most.
