Sue Conway is out of control. Recently released from prison she is determined to find the people responsible for putting her there and to give them a taste of what she has had to endure. When Sue kidnaps an eleven-year-old deaf boy it's only the first stage in an elaborate plan.
Running to Chicago, Sue poses as a battered woman and it leads her to Hanover House, an inner-city women's shelter, run by Dana Dupinsky. Dana safeguards many secrets in her own life and in the lives of those around her but she would never harbour a murderer, that is if she knew that one was living at the shelter.
Distracted by the presence of a new man in her life, Dana only realises the danger when those around suddenly start dying and she is thrust into the middle of Sue's dangerous and evil game...

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was a complex book, the main characters Dana - who has a pretty chequered background and runs an inner city women's shelter and Ethan the marine, turned security expert are both well developed characters- not without their flaws. Their immediate supporting casts are complementary both to the main characters and the plot. The psychotic killer is really quite scary - and all too believable. I raced along at a fair pace and more obstacles appeared at almost every page turn.
The only downside it has lots of people involved on the periphery and I had a bit of a problem at times figuring out if they were going to be important ( and the majority were not).
Aside from that well worth a read, but it might just make you a little jumpy!

Let's get to the positives first:
Good plot, well-formed characters, twists/turns and sufficient gore to make this a throughly enjoyable thriller
And now...
Sorry, but I found the romance/sex scenes just too much Mills & Boon and personally I found them off-putting and detracted from what was otherwise a well-constructed novel. Bit like Jeffrey Deaver meets Barbara Cartland = not a marriage than one would readily contemplate!
My advice would be to just read the rest of the book and to skip a couple of pages every time that Dana and Ethan get down to 'horizontal jogging' - you'll not lose any of the plot and the book will leave a better impression.

This is a book which has a good plotline in it, if you stick around long enough to find it! I had read about 150 pages and was still debating whether or not to carry on as I was not finding it very exciting but decided to persevere a little longer as one of the other reviews on here said it took a while to get into. I think I had read over 200 pages before I actually began to enjoy it.
It IS a good story, but to me, far too much time is spent on unimportant detail that bears no relevance on the plot, I think this author needs to realise that it's about quality not quantity, this would have been a much better book if it had been at least a hundred pages shorter. The extra waffle only serves to bore the reader (well this reader anyway)and could put people off.
