Publisher Description
A young author becomes the object of a fan’s desire—and rage—in the gripping thriller by the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Hidden Nature.
He showed up at Arden Bowie’s debut author appearance with a copy of her novel and an eager smile. He showered her with compliments and got her autograph. Then he came to her next event. And the one after that.
Dustin was just an aspiring writer who wanted advice, Arden reassured herself. But after giving in to one of his incessant invitations and chatting with him over coffee, she discovered that ignoring her inner alarm bell had been a terrible mistake…
An introvert at heart, Arden had long craved solitude—but now, after a harrowing assault, she finds herself hiding behind locked doors and startling at every sound. And her relief at his imprisonment is tempered by anxiety when Dustin’s wealthy mother helps to get him a paltry five-year sentence at a psychiatric facility.
Arden decides to write a new story for herself, moving to a tiny Oregon town and befriending Gideon, an ex-LAPD detective. But while she learns to thrive, Dustin remains his delusional, twisted self, as fixated as ever and now seething with anger. He still believes Arden's purpose on earth is to serve and please him. And his job is to protect her. But who will protect her from him?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Nora Roberts delivers exactly what she does best here: a thriller with real emotional stakes. Arden Bowie is thrilled when her debut novel earns warm reviews and strong sales, until a fan named Dustin starts appearing at all of her events. What first seems like awkward admiration quickly turns violent, and after Dustin lands in psychiatric confinement, Arden is left trying to rebuild a life that no longer feels safe. Moving to a small Oregon town, she slowly finds solid ground, making new friends and growing close to a former police detective. But Dustin’s release is approaching, and his obsession has become a violent fixation. Roberts gives Arden real depth and resilience, making her recovery just as compelling as the suspense, while Dustin is frightening because he feels so believable. The Final Target is a riveting thriller about learning how to live fully again.
