The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Thick As Thieves âcharges her characters and their relationships with electricityâ (San Francisco Book Review) in this gripping novel of suspense.
When a deranged stalker attempts to murder her daughter Berry, Caroline King has no doubts about who to contact for help: Berryâs father, the cagey private investigator Dodge Hanley. Itâs been thirty years since Dodge last saw Caroline, but she remains the one womanâamong manyâthat he canât forget. He has a whole bagful of grudging excuses for ignoring Carolineâs callâand one compelling reason to drop everything and fly down to Texas to protect the daughter heâs never met: guilt.
As always, Dodgeâs perseverance knows no bounds as he teams with a small-town sheriff, but the alarming situation worsens when the stalker claims other victims, leaving a trail of clues lethally pointing toward Berry. And Dodgeâa street-smart fighter who has always put his life on the lineârealizes that this time, heâs risking his heart as well.
