Dana Nolan was a promising young TV reporter until a notorious serial killer tried to add her to his list of victims.

“Julia Whelan demonstrates her
award-winning narration skills once again with her heart-stopping delivery of
Hoag’s newest psychological suspense. A year ago, TV reporter Dana Nolan
survived being kidnapped by a serial killer. As she rebuilds her life while
coping with the aftereffects of a traumatic brain injury, her anguish comes
through in Whelan’s practiced voice. The complex emotions of other characters
are portrayed believably as well—the grief of a mother and the anger of a
disenfranchised veteran, in particular. Occasionally, a male voice seems
forced, but, overall, Whelan’s timing and pacing create a superb listening
experience.”
