The dark won't wait

Poulsen, David A., 1946-


Includes an interview with the author. "Dom's life revolves around cars and baseball, until a chance connection to a high school audition hands him a major role in a psychological thriller. This would be exciting enough, except that real life begins to shadow the script in a very creepy way, as an elusive girl and a local murder draw Dom out of his otherwise quiet shell. With a nod to Frederick Knott's famous play Wait Until Dark and its subsequent film, this book has it all--drama mystery, thrills aplenty, and contemporary teen humour."--Page 4 of cover.
