Lieutenant Jonathan Stride knows his partner, Maggie Bei, is in trouble when she reports a deadly crime on a bitter winter night. She’s obviously hiding a terrible secret, and her silence only feeds suspicion. But Maggie isn’t the only one keeping secrets in Duluth. A seductive young woman has disappeared, leaving behind a stash of lurid fantasies and a cryptic message: “I know who it is.”
Following a twisted trail, Stride uncovers a sordid web of violence and voyeurism that someone is willing to kill for in order to keep hidden. His lover, Serena Dial, a homicide cop turned private investigator, is chasing a blackmailer who knows all the city’s dirty secrets, even Maggie’s. But as Stride and Serena hunt for a killer, a predator is hunting them, with a terrifying plan for revenge.

"I loved this book.... completely rated R but great mystery!! Imo Brian freeman doesn't get enough credit for his work; he is the next Harlan Coben! This story was completely unpredictable and there several twists at the end. I give bonus points for authors who cover their bases and leave no loose ends and I did feel there was a big one but overall great book... kept me wanting to read it until the very end."
— Shannon (5 out of 5 stars)
“Brian Freeman is, quite simply, a first-rate storyteller. Stalked is scary, fast-paced, and refreshingly well written. The characters are so sharply drawn and interesting, we can’t wait to meet the next one in the story. Freeman has another winner.”
— Nelson DeMille #1 New York Times bestselling author“Chilling, atmospheric…A strong narrative crammed with twists and studded with sex and violence; a mysterious, even mystical, sense of place; and a well-crafted set of characters and relationships make this one of Freeman’s stronger crime thrillers.”
— Publishers Weekly“ The final conflict on the frozen waters of a Minnesota lake is nothing short of inspired-- a perfect read for a freezing February night! ”
— Book Page“A perfect blend of psychological suspense and crime fiction.”
— Chicago Tribune“Chilling and heart-thumping.”

— Vicki, 9/29/2011" I rarely put down a book in the middle, let alone right in the beginning but this one was the exception. I found the level of sex to be more than gratuitous to the point where I could no longer find the plot of the book. "

— Wendy, 12/30/2010" Brian Freeman writes a very good thriller. This book in the series is no exception, there is sex, muder and thrills a minute. This book, like the others, picks up fast half way through and there is no way to stop reading until the end. "

— Papalodge, 7/14/2010" Again, the story takes off. I figured it out this time, but of course, for the wrong inclinations. <br/>Enjoy the humor and banter. <br/>Too bad about the Bronco, but it was funny. Should have just stopped and followed his tracks and backtracked. "
