Perfect for you if...

  • You want a thriller where the protagonist is damaged, intelligent, and willing to get her hands dirty rather than wait for rescue.
  • You're drawn to cat-and-mouse plots with genuine psychological tension, where the killer isn't just menacing but strategically one step ahead.
  • You appreciate sequels that escalate the stakes meaningfully rather than just rehashing the first book's dynamics.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need a protagonist who plays by the rules or maintains clear moral high ground throughout the story.
  • You're sensitive to storylines involving serial killers or extended violence against families, particularly children in danger.
  • You prefer standalone thrillers over series commitments.

About this book

Gwen Proctor previously won a battle to protect her children from her ex-husband, serial killer Melvin Royal, and his accomplices. However, Melvin has escaped from prison and sent her a threatening text message, making clear the conflict is far from over. Gwen's home at Stillhouse Lake is no longer safe. She leaves her children with a well-armed neighbor and teams up with Sam Cade, whose sister was one of Melvin's victims, to pursue Melvin. Gwen has gained knowledge from studying one of the killers she faced. What awaits her is a complex psychological attack designed to undermine her. As her support network shrinks, Gwen relies on anger and a desire for vengeance to drive her forward. The confrontation will end with one of them dead.
