Book Description:
Alone . . . Massachusetts State Trooper Bobby Dodge watches a tense hostage standoff unfold through the scope of his sniper rifle. Just across the street, in wealthy Back Bay, Boston, an armed man has barricaded himself with his wife and child. The man’s finger tightens on the trigger and Dodge has only a split second to react . . . and forever pay the consequences.

Alone . . . that’s where the nightmare began for cool, beautiful, and dangerously sexy Catherine Rose Gagnon. Twenty-five years ago, she was buried underground during a month-long nightmare of abduction and abuse. Now her husband has just been killed. Her father-in-law, the powerful Judge Gagnon, blames Catherine for his son’s death . . . and for the series of unexplained illnesses that have sent her own young son repeatedly to the hospital.

Alone . . . a madman survived solitary confinement in a maximum security prison where he’d done hard time for the most sadistic of crimes. Now he walks the streets a free man, invisible, anonymous . . . and filled with an unquenchable rage for vengeance. What brings them together is a moment of violence—but what connects them is a passion far deeper and much more dangerous. For a killer is loose who’s woven such an intricate web of evil that no one is above suspicion, no one is beyond harm, and no one will see death coming until it has them cornered, helpless, and alone.

As a sniper with the elite Massachusetts State Police SWAT Team, Bobby Dakota has always enjoyed a good hunt. Until one November night when he saves a woman and her young son by shooting her armed husband. Bobby did what he was trained to do, he did it well, and he's not losing any sleep over it. But vicious rumors are already circulating the next morning when Boby loses his gun and his privileges. Because the dead man was the son of a prominent Boston judge and had accused his wife of poisoning their son. Facing awkward stares and a crippling wrongful death lawsuit, Bobby begins his own investigation into the fateful shooting--and a fight to reclaim the life he holds dear. As the trail takes him into a twisted minefield of sordid wealth and family secrets, he is learning that nothing--and no one--is what they seem. Did Bobby Dakota take the right shot? Or was one of Boston's most elite law enforcement officers used as the perfect tool for murder? In a shocking thriller that will leave you gasping at every twist, Lisa Gardner once more raises the bar for crime fiction, proving why she is the master of suspense at its most intense!
