About the Author:
Hilary Norman is the internationally-bestselling author of, amongst others, In Love and Friendship, Chateau Ella, Deadly Games, Twisted Minds, Compulsion, Guilt and Mind Games. She lives in North London.
From Publishers Weekly:
British author Norman makes up for a pedestrian start with a mind-blowing ending in this sequel to 1999's Mind Games that brings back Sam Becket, an African-American homicide detective; Becket's wife, child psychologist Grace Lucca; and their adopted daughter, Cathy. After someone viciously bludgeons janitor Rudolph Muller to death on a Miami beach, a crime accompanied by some bestial howls of rage that sounded less than human, Becket takes on the case. Soon other victims surface, both in and out of Becket's jurisdiction, but the main suspect proves to be disturbingly close to home: ambitious rookie cop Teresa Suarez, the attractive but obsessed girlfriend of Becket's younger brother, Saul. Despite merely adequate prose, Norman pulls off the rare feat of unveiling the killer mid-book, maintaining tension and suspense by revealing an unexpected but logical plot twist. Her fearless willingness to kill off sympathetic characters and explore the dark side of the human psyche should earn her some new fans. (Jan.)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is a gripping new thriller from a bestselling author. When a lone runner is found dead on Miami Beach's North Shore, Detective Sam Becket's first concern is for his adopted daughter, Cathy, a student at Trent University. Cathy is also a runner, and she's vulnerable. Sam fears for the stability of his close-knit family, and especially for his wife Grace, blissfully pregnant after repeated miscarriages. As Sam and his team start to investigate, a connection emerges with another homicide on Pompano Beach, and others are drawn into the web: a troubled young boy being treated by Grace for his drug problem and Kerry Flanagan, a charismatic runner to whom Cathy feels powerfully drawn. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005179256
