Book Description

Publication Date: 29 Sep 2011

A serial-killer targets the country’s most vulnerable women in this new thriller featuring Detective Carson Ryder.

They thought they were safe at last…

Across the US, a secret network of crisis centres permanently relocates women in serious danger from domestic abuse. But now someone is killing them before they reach their destinations.

Detectives Carson Ryder and Harry Nautilus are having trouble gaining the trust of the volunteers who run the scheme. The only way in is for an undercover police officer to pose as a threatened woman, making herself a target and drawing the killer out.

Reinetta Early is the ideal candidate – but she also happens to be Harry’s niece. He always promised his sister that he would keep Reinetta safe from harm. Suddenly he’s unsure if he can even keep her alive…

Review

Praise for the Carson Ryder series:

'Superb stuff' Independent on Sunday

'Kerley will truly scare the pants off his readers. This one's another winner from a writer moving towards the top of the thriller heap' Publishers Weekly

'Kerley, who writes like a house fire, has a boundless and truly ghastly imagination that'll keep you awake long after you turn the last page' Kirkus

'A fascinating and frightening take on the genre' Independent on Sunday

'A chilling journey into a pitch-black mind' Michael Marshall, author of The Straw Men trilogy

'A sturdy hero with a clearcut mission and a setting that holds possibilities for fresh adventure. Kerley writes in a thrusting style that pushes the action from crime scene to autopsy table' New York Times Book Review

'Superb… fantastic' Sunday Express

5.0 out of 5 stars They're back, Ryder & Nautilus 1 Oct 2011
By Michael Watson TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I just love Jack Kerley's series of books featuring Carson Ryder and his partner, Harry Nautilus - as you will note from my previous reviews of each of his books.

If I'm to be picky, this isn't the best but it's way ahead of comparable storytellers currently available - with the possible exception of Chelsea Cain.

In this book, our two heroes are not quite as much to the forefront of the investigation into who is killing off an increasing number of young females. Into the picture comes the niece of Nautilus who seems just as adept at getting into and then out of trouble as her uncle Harry.

The story centres around an undercover group of women who help abused fellow women disappear into a new life. Unfortunately, someone has infiltrated their organisation and is picking off some of the females. It's up this trio (now) to solve the problem but not before the author keeps us guessing as to who and why.

I said it wasn't the best because there is, for me, just a little too much centred on the abused women and their personal situations. This is never a happy subject but these pages tend to slow the investigation which, up until this book, always had a risk factor involved for Carson and/or Harry. Here, that bite has gone. Centre stage in this regard moves to Reinetta Early (the niece) who takes on the role of an endangered species. I suspect she will be back more strongly in later books which, since she seems like a capable women in dire cicumstances, is no bad thing.

New readers will not be put out, as very little of past histories is brought into this story. But, if you are a new reader, please go back to book one and start from the beginning. They're each great crime thrillers, piling on the 'edge of the seat' factor in spades.

If you're a regular, like me, it's another gripping story but don't expect too much from the old diehards of past books. Just enjoy a slightly different viewpoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Carson Ryder book so far! 12 Jan 2012
By Mr Jonathan D Smith
Format:Kindle Edition
This is the third J.A Kerley book I've now read (first on Kindle, coincidentally). The previous two were decent, but "Her Last Scream" is excellent. Real edge of the seat stuff. I won't talk too much about the storyline itself as I don't want to give anything away, but the pacing is perfect, and - unless you're Sherlock Holmes himself - you're unlikely to guess what's really going on (and who's responsible!). The fact that the Kindle edition is currently a bargain 99p just sweetens the deal, but this novel is a terrific read regardless!

3.0 out of 5 stars Average 12 Oct 2011
By Alison
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been a fan since day one, but I have to confess that I'm beginning to find these books a little bit disturbing. It would be easy to say that the content is 'challenging', but I find myself more and more distanced from the actual writing and thinking about the mind of the person who produces these scenarios. Maybe that means they're brilliant books for their genre. I don't think this one is the best introduction - whodunnit was blindingly obvious very early on. If you're going to read about Carson/Nautilus (who are excellent characters) then start at the very beginning. Learn about Jeremy, who plays such a huge part in Carson's life, and why.
