‘Jimmy Tock comes into the world on the very night his grandfather leaves it. As a violent storm rages outside the hospital, Rudy Tock spends long hours walking the corridors between the expectant fathers’ waiting room and his dying father’s bedside. It’s a strange vigil made all the stranger when, at the very height of the storm’s fury, Josef Tock suddenly sits up in bed and speaks coherently for the first and last time since his stroke.
What he says before he dies is that there will be five dark days in the life of his grandson – five dates, the first when Jimmy is twenty, the last when he is thirty. Rudy is all too ready to discount his father’s last words as a dying man’s delusional rambling except that he also predicts the moment of his grandsons’ birth to the minute and the fact that Jimmy will be born with fused toes on his left foot...
What terrifying events await Jimmy on these five dark days? What challenges must he survive? What must he accomplish on the five days his world turns? At each of the crisis points a mystery as dangerous as it is wondrous unfolds – a struggle against an evil so dark and pervasive only the most extraordinary of human spirits can shine through it.’
