"Part sophisticated forensic thriller, part creepy psychological romp . . . one heck of a ride" from the bestselling author of The Edge of Normal (J. T. Ellison, New York Times–bestselling author). Reeve LeClaire is a college student, dammit, not Daryl Wayne Flint's victim. Not anymore—not when Reeve is finally recovering a life of her own after four years of captivity. Flint is safely locked up in Olshaker Psychiatric Hospital, where he belongs. He is walking the grounds of the forensic unit, performing his strange but apparently harmless rituals. It seems that he is still suffering the effects of the head injury he suffered in the car crash that freed Reeve seven years ago. Post-concussive syndrome, they call it. For all that Flint seems like a model patient, he has long been planning his next move. When the moment arrives, he gets clean away from the hospital before the alarm even sounds. And Reeve is shocked out of her new life by her worst nightmare: Her kidnapper has escaped. Less than 24 hours later, Flint kills someone from his past—and Reeve's blocked memories jolt back into consciousness. As much as she would like to forget him, she knows this criminal better than anyone else. When Flint evades capture, baffling authorities and leaving a bloody trail from the psychiatric lock-up to the forests of Washington state, Reeve suddenly realizes that she is the only one who can stop him. "A smart, tightly written, psychological thrill ride, with characters so real you can feel them." —Taylor Stevens, New York Times–bestselling author"A carefully plotted and mesmerizing thriller . . . dark, menacing and suspenseful." —San Francisco Review of Books
