What this book is about

The second Moonlight Bay novel. Christopher Snow — who cannot tolerate sunlight due to a condition called xeroderma pigmentosum — is investigating the disappearances of children from his coastal California town. The trail leads back to the decommissioned Fort Wyvern and the biological experiments conducted there, which gave Moonlight Bay its particular strangeness. A direct sequel to Fear Nothing, continuing Christopher's story through the dark.
