Synopsis

“A sock-’em stand-alone...The red herrings come fast and furious.”―People (Pick of the Week)

They never see me coming. . .because I’m already there.

Dr. Eric Parrish, a brilliant and caring psychiatrist, has been unknowingly targeted by a sociopath. His hands are already full, having recently separated from his wife and trying his best to be a single dad to his seven-year-old daughter. And now Eric faces a new challenge in the form of a troubled teenaged boy who harbors an obsessive crush on a girl. Because of secrets that this boy divulges in therapy, Eric grows concerned for the girl’s safety and becomes embroiled in a dangerous dilemma: Should he report his potentially dangerous patient to the authorities?

Just as Eric reaches his decision, the unimaginable happens. . .and the game is on. The clock begins ticking, and Eric finds himself plunged into a living nightmare―and at the hands of a sociopath bent on destroying his practice, his family, and his life.

“Lisa Scottoline has plenty of tricks up her sleeve.”
