The review of this Book prepared by Tracey Ray




When Albert Stucky escaped from prison, Maggie O'Dell knew her dangerous relationship with him could not end until he was dead. She obsessed over the case, despite the fact that the assistant director had removed her from it. Then women Maggie has come in contact with begin showing up dead, and Maggie is dragged back into the case. Working with a new and unwelcome partner, Maggie chases down clues hoping to find Stucky and the two women that are missing from her area--before it's too late for them and before Stucky has the chance to disappear again.
