Worte können nicht beschreiben, wie gut dieses Buch ist. Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews Als Detective Josie Quinn zu einem großen Haus am Rande der Kleinstadt Denton gerufen wird, ist sie entsetzt über die Grausamkeit des Angriffs, den sie dort vorfindet: zerbrochenes Glas, zersplitterte Möbel und Blutspritzer auf dem Boden. Die Besitzerin, eine alleinerziehende Mutter, kämpft um ihr Leben und ihr neugeborenes Baby ist verschwunden. Eine schöne junge Frau, die bei der Flucht vom Tatort ertappt wird, ist Josies einzige Spur, aber bei der Befragung stellt sich heraus, dass dieses mysteriöse Mädchen nicht weiß, wer sie ist, woher sie kommt oder warum sie so verängstigt ist ... Ist sie eine Zeugin, eine Verdächtige oder das nächste Opfer? Als Josie tiefer gräbt, stellt sich heraus, dass das vermisste Kind und die namenlose Frau mit einer Reihe von Morden in der ganzen Region in Verbindung stehen, und Josie steht vor einer herzzerreißenden Entscheidung ... Soll sie das Leben eines Kindes riskieren, um viele andere zu retten? Oder kann sie einen anderen Weg finden, um den Mörder zu stoppen, bevor noch mehr unschuldige Menschen getötet werden?

A woman is found dead, her body beaten post mortem. Stuffed into her mouth is a job application with the words "For You" scrawled across it. FBI profiler Kassidy Bishop is assigned to help find the killer. Despite being scarred by her twin sister's mysterious death fifteen years earlier, Kass is now a rising star in the Bureau's Behavior Analysis Unit. But as more victims turn up dead around the country--all with the serial killer's trademark message left at the scene--Kassidy is left with more questions than answers. The victims seem to have nothing in common, and the meticulous killer is as inconsistent as he is brutal. As Kass delves deeper into the mind of the killer, a shocking connection begins to emerge--one that is both personal, and deadly. Told from the alternating viewpoints of Kassidy and the For You Killer, Kill for You is an edge-of-your-seat, roller coaster ride of a thriller.

Kids just love cute animals... and Sam Loman''s wonderful, characterful artwork really brings them to life!

Five years ago, Claire Fletcher escaped her abductor. But some scars never fade, and surviving was just the beginning ... When Claire sees a car full of children careen into a river, she rushes to the rescue. But the driver, a mother named Leah Holloway, prefers to drown. For Claire and her ex, Detective Connor Parks, it doesn't add up. What would motivate a woman with a beautiful family and a successful career to resort to such unspeakable extremes? What Connor finds out confirms Claire's suspicions of something dreadful behind Holloway's picture-perfect facade: a link between the terrified mother and a serial strangler targeting Sacramento soccer moms. As Claire and Connor are drawn back together, their investigation leads them to unearth everything Holloway was hiding. What they find could be the only way to stop a killer from striking again.

Newly divorced and with his career in jeopardy, Detective Connor Parks takes solace in the arms of a beautiful woman he meets at a bar. The next morning, Claire Fletcher is gone, leaving nothing behind but an address and a decade-old mystery. The address leads to the Fletcher family home where Claire's siblings inform Connor that their fifteen-year-old sister was abducted from a city street ten years ago and is presumed dead. During those ten years, Claire endured the cruel torture and depravity of the man who abducted her. Paralyzed by fear and too ashamed to return to her family, Claire is resigned to her life as Lynn, the identity her abductor forced upon her. Every time she attempts escape or betrays him in the smallest way, someone dies. Even now, her clandestine run-in with Connor Parks may have put his life at risk, as well as the lives of her family. Connor is convinced that not only is Claire Fletcher alive, but that she is also the woman he met at the bar. Driven to see her again, he begins his own investigation, off the clock and without the police department's consent. He is determined to find her and unravel the mystery of her abduction and odd reemergence. But finding Claire Fletcher proves more dangerous than he anticipates. In fact, it may be deadly.
