Chalk Can Be Erased - Nightmares Remain
The chalk man is a thriller about a murder that haunts several young men throughout their youth and into their adult years. It is touted as a psychological thriller but I found it too obtuse and disconnected for it to make a very good impression on me. Basically, the novel starts out as a game between the boys. They use chalk men as their secret code. However, the code leads them to a dead body. As the boys grow up, the code letters continue and lead them to seek an answer as to what really happened all those years ago.
