The Between

Hilton James, a Miami social worker nearing forty, has never shaken the day his grandmother died saving him from drowning. As his birthday approaches, recurring nightmares and strange visions convince him he has been living on borrowed time.

At the same time his wife, Dede, a newly elected circuit court judge, begins receiving racist threats from a man she once prosecuted. Hilton grows desperate to protect his family while he questions whether he is losing his mind or sensing something real.

Tananarive Due's 1995 debut novel blends supernatural horror and psychological suspense, and leaves open whether the danger is human, otherworldly, or both.
