Publisher's summary

For more than two years, he held Seattle in a terror grip. A cold-blooded killer who abducted young mothers right in front of their sons and murdered them execution style. Then, as suddenly as the killings began, they seemed to stop.

Susan Blanchette is looking forward to a relaxing weekend getaway with her fiance, Allen, and young son, Matthew. But something about the remote lake house doesn't feel right. A woman vanished from the area a year ago, and now Susan thinks she's spotted someone lurking around the property. And when Allen disappears, her fear grows....

A psychopath has returned, ready to strike again. Someone who can't resist the urge to kill, who derives pleasure from others' pain, and who is drawing nearer to Susan as each minute of the weekend ticks by. But she's just one pawn at the heart of a killer's deadly game. A killer who is unrelenting, unstoppable, and absolutely vicious....

Another great story

I got so involved in this one that I couldn’t walk away from it! Finished within 24 hours, you kept me guessing that’s for sure. Great way to wrap it up at the end.

Intriguing and exciting

I loved this novel with all the twists and turns. The characters each had their own uniquely different history that intertwined with the plot. Kudos to Kevin O’Brian for writing another thrilling novel.

Worth the read

Fast pace. Twist and turns. Couldn’t stop listening. Voice for the teenage girl was a little annoying. Overall worth the read.
