WELCOME TO SAFE HAVEN, POPULATION 907…
Nestled in the woods of Wisconsin, Safe Haven is miles from everything. With one road in and out, this is a town so peaceful it has never needed a full-time police force. Until now…
A helicopter has crashed on the outskirts of town and something terrible has been unleashed. A classified secret weapon programmed to kill anything that stands in its way. Now it’s headed for the nearest lights to do what it does best. Isolate. Terrorize. Annihilate.
Soon all phone lines are dead and the road is blocked. Safe Haven’s only chance for survival rests on the shoulders of an aging county sheriff. And as the body count rises, the sheriff realizes something even more terrifying – maybe death hasn’t come to his little town by accident…

Imagine this: You’re driving with your feline friend in the passenger seat, minding your own business, when suddenly your cat starts bossing you around like a backseat driver. You try to ignore it, but their judgmental meows just won’t quit. It’s like you’re stuck in a never-ending episode of “Paw & Order: Special Felines Unit”.
I’ve realized this is now my life. I had just left my sister’s house, determined to make a life for myself. But first I had to solve the crime of the kidnapped cat, which wasn’t a mystery because I knew who took her. The owner didn’t believe me. So, here I am in the middle of I-80 between two semis chasing a cat napper. All because my cat has a crush on the furry kitty victim.

Jane Gardam’s marvelous stories of young girls on the threshold of womanhood—God on the Rocks and Crusoe’s Daughter—have delighted fans and critics alike. These “modern classics” are now joined by a novel that is equally fresh and genuine, comic and touching (The Independent).

This proves an accurate prediction of the future, one that indelibly colors her life at school and her perception of the world.
