Christopher Snow is different from all other residents of 
Moonlight Bay, different from anyone you've ever met.
For Christopher Snow has made his peace with a very rare
genetic disorder shared by only one thousand other Americans,
a disorder that leaves him dangerously vulnerable to light.
His life is filled with the fascinating rituals of one who
must embrace the dark. He knows the night as no one else
ever will, ever can-the mystery, the beauty, the many terrors,
and the eerie, silken rhythms of the night--for it is only at
night that he is free.

Until the night he witnesses a series of disturbing incidents
that sweep him into a violent mystery only he can solve, a
mystery that will force him to rise above all fears and confront
the many-layered strangeness of Moonlight Bay and its residents.
