Timothy Underhill and Willy Patrick had several things in common, they were both authors, they had both lost a child they loved, and they were both troubled.  Willy had man trouble and was running for her life, while Timothy had email trouble.  It seems he’s getting emails from people of his past, who are dead.

In the Night Room is told with alternating chapters from Willy and Timothy, until they meet.  Now, Timothy’s life is also in danger and they are on the run together.  Timothy knows what must be done to save Willy and himself, but he doesn’t like it.
