    About this audiobook

    It's a hideous echo of a violent past. Across America, murders are being committed with all the twisted hallmarks of the Boston Strangler, the Zodiac Killer and Son of Sam. The media frenzy explodes and Nashville homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson knows instantly that The Pretender is back...and he's got helpers.

    As The Pretender's disciples perpetrate their sick homages—stretching police and the FBI dangerously thin—Taylor tries desperately to prepare for their inevitable showdown. And she must do it alone. To be close to her is to be in mortal danger, and she won't risk losing anyone she loves. But the isolation, the self-doubt and the rising body count are taking their toll—she's beside herself and ready to snap.

    The brilliant psychopath who both adores and despises her is drawing close. Close enough to touch....

    • 5/5
      Fantastic - best book of the Taylor Jackson series. Very suspenseful.
    • 2/5
      The overly dramatic narrator ruined the book. I couldn’t listen beyond the second chapter.
    • 4/5
      Much better than the last book. It's back to a more realistic story line and moves the story forward.
