On the day she was abducted, thirty-two year-old Annie Sullivan had three goals ? sell a house, forget a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend.'Every now and then a new author comes along that totally knocks one out of the park... In addition to her compelling heroine, Stevens has created one of the best psychopaths since Hannibal Lector?and that’s not something I say lightly. As the taut cat and mouse game unfolds, you will cheer for Annie. You will hate The Freak. And you will be absolutely mesmerized by the last line of this novel. Then, most likely, you will return to page one, and start it all over again.' Lisa Gardner
