A terrifying game is underway. A desperate hunt has begun. Bernie is determined to stop a
twisted serial killer at all costs. But is she getting nearer to catching himor being drawn
ever deeper into his deadly web?

story interwoven with a graphic portrait of a serial killer and rapistThe sleepy Adams
County setting makes for a pleasant contrast to the unspeakable crimes committed there,
and Barton captures the bucolic feel of smalltown lifecomplete with its shallow pool of
eligible (and desirable) romantic partners. Barton succeeds in keeping the killers identity a
