The gripping new standalone thriller from the critically acclaimed, award-winning author of California Girl and The Fallen.
Funny how different lives can suddenly collide.
A TV weatherwoman gets a stalker and hires private detective Matt Stromsoe. Matt is a man in recovery. His best friend became a gang warlord and tried to kill him but Matt's wife and son ended up dead instead. Now he's hoping his first case since he quit the police force will help him move on.
But his old life has unfinished business. His former friend still calls the shots from behind the bars of the US's toughest jail. And it's looking like the stalker case is more than just the usual celebrity obsession. A lot more
