STELLA schlafwandelt. Immer zu den gleichen Orten. Denkt sie. Und seit Kurzem scheinen es nicht mehr die Orte zu sein, die sie so anziehen... sondern ein ganz bestimmter Mann. Es ist KANE. Und er ist der allseits verhasste Outcast der Stadt. ... Stella Rafman schlafwandelt schon ihr Leben lang. Um genauer zu sein, seit sie mit fünf Jahren miterleben musste, wie ihr Vater umgebracht wurde. An ihre nächtlichen Ausflüge hat sie sich längst gewöhnt, so wie an die bevormundenden und zugleich herablassenden Blicke der Einwohner von Bonding Hills. Doch plötzlich findet sie sich auf einer ihrer Nachtwanderungen nicht länger im Waschraum wieder, sondern auf dem Grundstück Kane Andersons, dem wohl am meisten geächteten Einwohner der Kleinstadt. Als dies wieder und wieder passiert, beginnt Stella, sich ernste Sorgen zu machen... Kane eilt sein Ruf voraus und in Stella löst er widersprüchliche Gefühle aus. Sie fürchtet sich vor ihm, doch da ist auch noch etwas anderes. Eine merkwürdig intensive Verbindung, die sie zu verdrängen versucht. Gemeinsam beschließt das ungleiche Paar, das Mysterium um den Tod von Stellas Vater zu lösen. Doch je tiefer sie in der Vergangenheit graben, desto klarer wird: Nichts ist, wie es scheint. Anmerkung: Bonding Hills (sowie seine Bewohner und diese Geschichte) sind rein fiktiv. Cover Design by AnnieRosebud
