Publisher Description
Archie Sheridan should be recovering from his past run-ins with serial killer Gretchen Lowell, yet he's just as haunted as the day she let him go. But when a cyclist comes across a corpse in Mount Tabor Park on the eastern side of Portland, Archie suddenly has a new case to focus on.
Then comes a call from an unlikely source. After months of ignoring calls from a doctor at the mental hospital where Gretchen is supposed to be locked away forever, Archie hears that she might have inside knowledge about the new investigation. But is she bluffing just to get close to him, and can he risk losing his only lead?
One thing is for sure: Gretchen Lowell is back, and Archie must decide if catching a killer is worth facing his demons one more time.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Despite being locked away in the Oregon State Hospital, serial killer Gretchen Lowell still looms large in Det. Archie Sheridan's life in bestseller Cain's utterly engrossing fifth thriller featuring the pair (after 2011's The Night Season). When Gretchen claims that the Portland police detective's two latest murder victims one found flayed in a local park and another burned to a crisp atop the iconic city sign are the work of killer Ryan Motley, Archie knows better than to take Gretchen at her word, but he's intrigued when she mentions having a child, a new twist. Meanwhile, Susan Ward, now working as a freelance reporter, is following both the current murder case and the developing situation with Gretchen, going so far as to interview her at the state hospital, where Gretchen divulges tidbits of her early life, previously uncharted territory. That blood oozes off practically every page is never in doubt. But neither is Cain's skill in creating riveting character drama between two damaged souls.150,000 first printing; author tour.
