Publisher Description

New York Times best-selling author Lisa Gardner has won critical and popular acclaim for writing riveting, nail-biting novels of suspense. Her stories are all the more disturbing because they seem to leap straight from today's newspaper headlines. Officer Rainie Conner is leading her first homicide investigation, a school shooting. The police chief's 13-year-old son is the prime suspect, but Rainie doesn't believe he pulled the trigger. With the help of FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, she races to uncover the truth. But a ruthless killer watches from the shadows--and lives to destroy her as he has destroyed her peaceful little Oregon community. Narrator C.J. Critt keeps adrenaline levels high as she reveals layer after layer of intrigue. A school shooting is horrifying in itself, but the thought of the menacing presence behind the shooting, the madman who savors the act of murder, is sure to keep listeners awake at night.

"Two little girls and a teacher were killed in a school shooting by a young student. Why? Was he acting alone? The officer in charge, Lorraine Connor, was quite skeptical about the capabilities of young Danny. She had her own secrets from her past so these shootings brought back her nightmares. The style of writing kept you riveted to your seat waiting for more suspense."

— Joanie (4 out of 5 stars)
