He hears the clickety-click of a manual typewriter--as if someone is vigorously tapping the keys. The eerie sounds began soon after his wife, Charlotte, bought him a classic antique Underwood. But only Paul can hear the noise coming from downstairs; Charlotte doesn't hear anything unusual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs Paul losing his mind? Maybe. Or is something really there? Eight months ago, he stumbled upon Connecticut's infamous \"Apology Killer\"--a psychopath who forced his victims to typewrite personal apologies to him before he cut their throats--disposing of two mutilated bodies on Milford's Post Road. Most shocking of all, the killer was his colleague, someone he thought he knew. Paul's been seeing a therapist for months to recover from the nearly fatal encounter, but his nerves and short-term memory have suffered since the traumatic event.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's only one way to learn if the noises are real or a figment of his hyper-imagination. One night, Paul rolls a sheet of paper into the machine. The next morning, when he checks the page, there is a chilling message:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"We typed our apologies like he asked but he killed us anyway.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs he desperately searches to find a rational explanation for the note and the noises, Paul slowly begins to consider the unthinkable: The message is authentic, and the women butchered by his colleague are reaching out to him from beyond the grave.","brand":"Linwood Barclay (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":42789041635488,"sku":"9780385687188","price":9.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Mass market","offer_id":52708440113312,"sku":"9781400026746","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade size","offer_id":52708440277152,"sku":"9780385698382","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mass Market paperback","offer_id":53003828396192,"sku":"9781398703513","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/products\/BNCImageAPI_b97e67fe-22b5-4c50-9e48-cee7d5c3cd6e.jpg?v=1669074823","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780385687188","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
