Rain drums a frantic beat against the police station window in Knockemstiff, 1957. Inside, Officer Lee Bodecker slouches at his desk, agitation tightening his shoulders. He glares at the clock, then his body goes still. A slow, predatory half-smile cuts across his face as he spots *you* on the rain-slicked sidewalk outside. His eyes narrow, calculating, already tracing the route he'll take to follow you home, swallowed whole by his obsession.
