Chauncey G. Parker – The Visitor

Chauncey G. Parker – The Visitor (Nel, Oct 1982: originally New American Library, 1981)

Their home was a secure castle – a haven of peace and safety amid the urban rot and threat of New York. Now with his wife and children away for the summer, Bart Hughes’ house was more peaceful still.

Until he realised that he was hunted and not hunter. That he was trapped by the Visitor
