THE FEAR ARTIST
HALLINAN, TIMOTHY
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
An accidental collision on a Bangkok sidewalk goes very wrong when the man who ran into Rafferty dies in his
arms, but not before saying three words: Helen Eckersley. Cheyenne. Seconds later, the police arrive, denying
that the man was shot. That night, Rafferty is interrogated by Thai secret agents who demand to know what the
dead man said, but Rafferty can't remember. When he's finally released, Rafferty arrives home to find that his
apartment has been ransacked. In the days that follow, he realizes he's under surveillance. The second time
men in uniform show up at his door, he manages to escape the building and begins a new life as a fugitive. As
he learns more about his situation, it becomes apparent that he's been caught on the margins of the war on
terror, and that his opponent is a virtuoso artist whose medium is fear.

Late one evening at a party at an East Texas ranch house, five orphans gather to hear a story about a quest for
a terrible weapon. Before them lies a long black box with five latches. As the owner of the box settles into a
