Publisher Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Countdown returns with a knock-out suspense thriller that pits a mother and son against a killer who's the stuff of nightmares. If you close your eyes, he’ll get you. Sophie Dunston knows all too well how dreams can kill. As one of the nation’s top sleep therapists, she specializes in the life-threatening night terrors that her ten-year-old son, Michael, suffers from. But she is also an expert in another kind of terror–the kind that can turn a dream life into a living nightmare in the blink of an eye. Someone is watching. He’s a shadowy figure from out of her darkest fears and he hasn’t forgotten her. In one shocking moment of violence, he’d shattered Sophie’s world forever and left her with only one thing to live for: her son. But the nightmare isn’t over for Sophie Dunston. It’s just begun. He’s been waiting. Sophie was supposed to die the first time around, but fate intervened. This time he’ll make sure that not even a miracle will save her. It wasn’t a miracle that saved Jock Gavin, but it was pretty close. A semiretired hit man, commando, and jack-of-all-deadly-trades, he knows what Sophie is up against–and that she’ll need help. But the man he’s chosen for the job is as unpredictable as he is dangerous. Matt Royd is a wild card–hard, cool, merciless–and putting him into play changes the game completely. But to whose advantage? Sophie will soon find out. She will have to trust Royd because she has no choices left. Because the bogeyman haunting her dreams is all too real and he’s on the hunt again. Because the nightmare he’s got planned for Sophie won’t end when she wakes up screaming. It won’t end. Ever.

"Johansen is one of my favorite authors. The opening portion of this book caught me so off guard I actually gasped outloud! I'm having a hard time staying away from the book, would like to just read it until it's done but that silly thing called a job is getting in the way! Story and plot line are moving really fast, but it's all very clear so I've not been lost. Great charater development in a very small amount of time."

    " First book I've read by this author. Most likly it is the last book I'll read by this author. Stinks "

    " Page turning enjoyable read that was hard to put down. It was fun to catch up with characters that had been introduced in previous books. It's difficult to identify this series but I'll definitely read more of them. It's an off shoot of the Eve Duncan series although she wasn't in this book. Instead, Jane and Joe appeared briefly and Jock and MacDuff intermittently. "

    " it took me a few tries to get into this book, nothing like her other books i have read that i have a hard time putting them down. But i finally got into and enjoyed it ok. The idea of the storyline was a little out there for me but i am glad i finished it. "

    " This book started with a real bang, literally. However from there it was all downhill. One of Johansen's weaker books, in my opinion. Never really developed the supporting cast characters, it was hard to get too involved with them. I had to force myself to finish the book once the initial incident was explained. That is never a good sign. "
