You love crime thrillers with recurring characters and genuine stakes that build across a series.
You want a cat-and-mouse game between a psychologist profiler and a brilliant, remorseless killer who's had ten years to plan.
You appreciate procedural detail mixed with psychological tension, not just jump scares.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone thrillers without needing to know the series history, though this book works as an entry point.
You're looking for a quick, lightweight read. At 429 pages, this demands your full attention.
You need resolution and closure. This is the start of a reckoning, not its conclusion.

About this book

Psychologist Dr. Tony Hill and detective Carol Jordan have successfully imprisoned numerous dangerous criminals throughout their careers. However, one serial killer has defined their work: Jacko Vance, a former celebrity and sociopath whose intelligence and complete lack of remorse have haunted Tony for the decade since Vance's imprisonment. Jacko has now escaped from prison. More twisted and cunning than ever, he is determined to seek revenge on Tony and Carol for his years behind bars. The pair do not know when or where he will strike, only that he intends to inflict fear upon them unlike anything they have experienced before. This seventh book in the Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series follows the two as they face their most dangerous adversary yet.
