Publisher's Note
Keenly observed psychological detail and breathtaking suspense combine to make this Joy Fieldings best novel yet, sure to appeal to fans and win new readers for the bestselling author of See Jane Run and Dont Cry Now.Family therapist Kate Sinclair repairs other peoples troubled lives, all the while reveling in her stable marriage and handsome home. But there are demons in her past that will not stay buried forever, and the carefully constructed edifice of her life comes tumbling down when her half-sister JoLynn announces her plans to marry Colin Friendly, a man on trial for the brutal murders of thirteen Palm Beach women.Kate soon finds herself embroiled in a desperate struggle to protect her family from Colins increasingly sinister advances. To make matters worse, her aging mother is losing her tenuous grip on reality and her rebellious daughter Sara is falling under JoLynns wayward influence--a development that would worry Kate in the best of times, but which in this case might well prove deadly. As the strain begins to tear Kates marriage apart, into the fray comes the smooth-talking Robert, her high-school crush, who soon displays an unhealthy interest in the results of Colin Friendly's trial.As Kate Sinclair slowly slips across the razor-thin line separating ordinary life from unspeakable terror she realizes that there is no one she can trust, nowhere she can run...and no way she can deny that she and her loved ones may be the next targets of a demented serial killer.
Industry Reviews
"Here is the rarest of treats, a good thriller about a vicious serial killer that's written with a dry kind of hilarity."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Patricia Holt (08/17/1997)
"Anybody who's ever been afraid of going gray or flabby, losing her looks or her husband, or rattling the skeletons in the family closet will be hopelessly hooked."
