About this listen

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

From the bestselling author of The Neon Lawyer comes a gripping thriller about a prosecutor confronted with the darkest part of her past and the worst fears for her future....

Fourteen years ago, prosecutor Jessica Yardley's husband went to prison for a series of brutal murders. She's finally created a life with her daughter and is a well-respected attorney. She's moving on. But when a new rash of homicides has her ex-husband, Eddie, written all over them - the nightmares of her past come back to life.

The FBI asks Jessica to get involved in the hunt for this copycat killer - which means visiting her ex and collaborating with the man who tore her life apart.

As the copycat's motives become clearer, the new life Jessica created for herself gets darker. She must ask herself who she can trust and if she's capable of stopping the killer - a man whose every crime is a bloody valentine from a twisted mastermind she's afraid she may never escape.

If you like Scarpetta - you'll like this!

Cleverly done, plenty to keep you hooked in. This is the kind of book done in only a few sittings. Great idea to make it free for a while. I will be listening to the rest of them and paying.
Interesting characters, people you care about. And the twists!!!!

Hannibal Lecter +++

if you liked Silence of the Lambs, then you will love this.
It's more of, but much more!
More twists than the dance move.
Loved the intelligence of the characters and the writing.
I've put this in my top 10.
