Book Description
================
Christopher Snow is the best-known resident of 12,000-strong Moonlight
Bay, California. This is because 28-year-old Chris has xeroderma pigmentosum
(XP)--a light-sensitivity so severe that he cannot leave his house in
daylight, cannot enter a normally-lit room, cannot sit at a computer.
Chris's natural element is the night, and his parents, both academics,
chose to live in Moonlight Bay because in a small town Chris can make
the nightscape his own--roaming freely through the town on his bike,
surfing in the moonlight, exploring while most people sleep.
But Chris's brilliant mother, a scientist, was killed in a car accident
2 years ago, and as the book opens his father, Steven Snow, is dying
of cancer; Chris's protected life is about to change forever. We meet
Chris as he is carefully preparing himself to go out in the late-afternoon
sun to visit the hospital. In his last moments of life his father tells
Chris he is "sorry" and that Chris should "fear nothing"--cryptic words
that Chris cannot really relate to.
Steven Snow's body is removed to the hospital basement for transport
to the funeral home/crematorium, and when Chris goes downstairs for
a final moment of farewell, he witnesses a frightening and clandestine
encounter: the funeral director and another man Chris doesn't recognize
are substituting the body of a hitchhiker for Steven Snow's body--which
is being taken not to the crematorium but to some secret destination.-
For Chris, this scene is the first intimation of a conspiracy that he
will come to realize envelopes many of his townspeople. His parents
knew of it and wanted to protect Chris from it. His best friend has
had hints of something wrong because of the frightening nocturnal visitors
that have come to his beachhouse. And the first person to try to explain
to Chris what's going on--and warn him about the special danger he himself
is in--will be hideously murdered.
In the 24 hours this book encompasses, Christopher Snow will find out
that, sheltered though he's been, he has the soul of a fighter and an
adventurer. By the end of the book he will have killed a man, will have
discovered the role his own mother played in the birth of the conspiracy,
will have come to recognize the extraordinary guardians that, unknown
to him, have watched over him for years. He will realize that some people
hate him, others revere him, and neither his own life nor those of anyone
he knows will ever be the same.
