Fear comes home.
Welcome to Pearl, a town obsessed with Halloween: the spooky decorations, the costumes, the candy. No one seems to notice that every October 31st, a kid goes missing. Mason Miller does, though. Somehow he's the only one who has any memory the person existed at all.

Meg has been stolen by a witch who has no plans to let her go. Shadows of death curl around trees and behind doorways as Mason must use every ounce of bravery he has . . . or be haunted forever with the memory of a sister that only he remembers.

Los sugerentes acertijos que se ocultan tras los asesinatos del internado Ellingham, el centro privado fundado en 1930 por el millonario excéntrico Albert Ellingham en las remotas montañas de Vermont, siguen esperando a que alguien los resuelva; y Stevie sabe que está muy muy cerca. Sin embargo, el camino hacia la verdad tiene más obstáculos de los que se imagina…, y continuar avanzando implica hacer daño a alguien que quiere.
EN LA SEGUNDA ENTREGA DE LA TRILOGÍA EL CASO VERMONT DE MAUREEN JOHNSON, TODO TIENE UN PRECIO, Y ALGUIEN PAGARÁ LA VERDAD CON SU VIDA.
«Os lo asegura el lector más impaciente del mundo: si la serie El caso Vermont es básicamente una novela de misterio muy larga, Nunca en la escalera… es una parte central tan amena que ni siquiera os entrarán ganas de saltaros nada para leer el final».
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
«Esperar la siguiente entrega de esta serie que rinde homenaje a los clásicos del misterio Agatha Christie y Sherlock Holmes fue una tortura, pero Nunca en la escalera… mereció la pena».
USA TODAY
«Johnson da forma a su novela más original y minuciosamente urdida, un libro con misterios que se solapan entre los años treinta y el presente y que va desgranando cuidadosamente capítulo tras capítulo».
KIRKUS
«Esta segunda entrega es un toma y daca: varios misterios importantes se resuelven de manera satisfactoria, pero otros acertijos del pasado permanecen angustiosamente indescifrables, y otros más entran en juego casi al llegar a su enigmático final.
Agatha Christie se sentiría orgullosa».
