Stalker (n) Someone who keeps following or contacting someone else... in an annoying or frightening way; someone who prowls or sneaks about, unusually with unlawful intentions. (Collins Dictionary)
Meet Tempest McTierney, devoted wife, teacher, and mother who is living her idyllic life by the coast of the Mexican Gulf. That is, until things begin to happen that lead to her idyll being swept away. When her husband, a doctor, is framed for a patient’s death at a Galveston hospital, someone begins to take an inordinate interest in the family. As Tempest tries to cope with the daily torment this obsessed perpetrator inflicts, little by little, her thoughts turn to revenge and her life spirals out of control. Told in a journalistic fashion with personal memories woven into the daily dread she awakes to. Slowly, we reach the inevitable climax, and we, like Tempest, realize there is only one way out…

"With a talent for descriptive prose, Claudia Hoag McGarry takes the reader along on an emotional ride. Beautifully written with a dose of confident mid-life wit, the story of the oppressive anxiety a family lives through, created by an insidious, unknown interloper, hovers like a dark cloud. I could not put it down."
James Hayman, Author, The Cutting
"A strange and frightening tale.")
