The novel ends with Colquitt and Walter awaiting their (presumed) deaths in the house, after killing its architect (who, they discover, is a carrier of the evil that's in the house - and that evil will infect everything he builds for the rest of his life). By telling the world, the Kennedys have summoned its dangerous wrath. However, the house is now powerful enough to protect itself. The pair decide to go public with their story - and risk their own reputations and careers - to warn others about the house's dangerous power. Even those who only visit the house - including Colquitt and Walter - find themselves the victims of shocking tragedy. In just under two years, three owners - the Harralsons, Sheehans, and Greenes - have their lives destroyed by scandal, madness, and murder while living in the home. Soon, Colquitt suspects a terrible force resides in the house next door. They meet the architect and owners shortly after learning about the home, see the plans, and decide it's a beautiful house. Colquitt and Walter are dismayed at their loss of privacy and quiet, but resigned to the inevitable. They learn from a neighbor that a contemporary home is going up on the lot next to theirs. The novel is told from the point of view of Colquitt "Col" Kennedy, a well-to-do middle-aged woman who lives with her husband Walter in a quiet, affluent Atlanta neighborhood.
