Publisher's summary

Death always strikes on time.

Each time he strikes, he takes two victims. He waits for the first victim to be discovered—a body containing all the clues investigators need to find the second victim, who counts the seconds to a slow but certain death.

Now two girls have disappeared and the deadly countdown begins again. Rookie FBI agent Kimberly Quincy knows that the killer’s deadline can be met—but she’ll have to break some rules to do it. Joining forces with her father, renowned FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, and his partner, Rainie Conner, Kimberly will begin a dangerous hunt for a predator like none she’s ever seen.

He’s had five years to perfect his game. Now the clock is ticking. For his victims and for Kimberly . . .

Time's up.

Critic reviews

"With tight plotting, an ear for forensic detail, and a dash of romance, this is a truly satisfying sizzler in the tradition of Tess Gerritsen and Tami Hoag." (Publishers Weekly)

“[Lisa] Gardner keeps us guessing till the end!” (Los Angeles Times)

Grabs you in the first minutes.....

And never quite lets you go. The story is tightly woven, the narrator is great. It was especially interesting to be listening to this book during the first heat wave of the summer here in the Washington DC area:) I'll be sure to check out the author's other offerings.

The twist

Love this one so far love love love this one so much love love love love

Captivating--it hooks you!

I love it when I find an audio book that I can't stop listening to. This is one of them. I would find myself sitting in the car in the garage just to listen to more of it. The characters are richly described and "real". You will really like Kimberly and Mac, Quincy (her father) and Raney. The settings are so well described, you can almost smell them. And above all, the plot is tight and the mystery compelling. I highly recommend this book.

Great story

This is my first experience with this writer. I will definitely purchase additional titles. Her style and presentation made me want to continue to listen, even when it was time to put the book down for meals and other IMPORTANT business.

enjoyed the book but the narrator...

The narrator needs a new job her voices are out of control. i listen to audio books to relax and her voice is so dull.

Good read.

The story was good. I was hesitant about getting the book because of the negative comments about the narrator. She was OK except for one voice - Mac’s. WAY too deep and monotone. It doesn’t present an image of a young, good looking guy.
I always set the speed faster and that helped.

much better than i expected

When I first started to listen I thought that the narrator doing the voices was a little hokey. But she's really good and I have enjoyed this book immensely... I'm not quite finished and already I'm disappointed that it's at the end. Really good listen.

GREAT READ!

I enjoyed the story and the characters. I agree with the other reviews, either have a man read the men parts or just read it.

Quincy and rainy my all-time favorite characters

I will truly truly miss the books with Quincy and rainy I love those characters and I will truly miss them I love the characters who read for them I love everything about them if there was a movie to be made I would want them one of those books to be made. I am hoping and praying that she comes out with another Quincy and rainy book. thank you Lisa Gardner for making my nights Friday with Quincy and rainy books that I've read over and over again.

Good

Not my favorite of Lisa Gardner books. I felt this one had a slow start, almost stopped reading. I knew it would get better since it was Lisa Gardner, I truly enjoyed the story at the end and glad I continued.
