SOPHIE BARRETT THINKS SHEāS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. SHE MAY BE DEAD WRONG.
On a sweltering summer afternoon, Sophie Barrett walks into a nightmare. A sniper has opened fire on a college campus. When the carnage is over, three peopleāplus the shooterāare dead and dozens more are injured. Sophie escapes virtually unscathed. Yet as details emerge from the investigation, she becomes convinced that this wasnāt the random, senseless act it appeared to be. No one wants to believe herānot the cops, not her colleagues at the Delphi Center crime lab, and definitely not Jonah Macon, the homicide detective whoās already saved her life once.
Jonah has all kinds of reasons for hoping Sophie is mistaken. Involving himself with a key witness could derail an already messy investigation, not to mention jeopardize his career. But Sophie is as determined and fearless as she is sexy. If he canāt resist her, he can at least swear to protect her. Because if Sophie is right, sheās made herself the target of a killer without a conscience. And the real terror is only just beginning. . . .
