Book Description:

Someone is tracking her every move.
A killer who knows that true nightmares never end…
And that the perfect murder is always worth waiting for…

Brooke Yeager’s childhood ended the night she crept downstairs to find her beautiful, gentle mother, Anne, lying in a pool of blood. Standing above Anne’s shattered body, a gun aimed right at the terrified little girl, was Brooke’s stepfather, Zachary Tavell. Luck saved Brooke that night, and in the years since, she’s managed to build a good life in Charleston, West Virginia, secure in the knowledge that Zach is behind bars. Until the night another woman is murdered—a woman who looks just like Brooke. Zach Tavell has escaped from prison, and this time, Brooke will need much more than luck to survive.

As the police search for Tavell, Brooke is shaken by a string of gruesome deaths and disturbing messages linked to her mother’s murder. Everyone she has ever cared about is in danger. And soon it’s clear that the nightmare that began fifteen years ago won’t be over until Brooke comes face to face with a monstrous evil that’s closer, and more cunning, than she ever imagined...

“Thompson creates smart, interesting characters the reader cares about within a gripping suspense story.”
—Judith Kelman, author of After the Fall

“Intriguing…brims with madness and creepy thrills.”

It was hard to get going in this book, but about midway through it got really good and turned out to be worth reading. My favorite characters were Harry and Eunice, the maintenance guy and his wife.
