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.

Riveting and scary to think that such manipulation could actually take place. Had a hard time putting it down.

Loved the characters! This was the first Lisa Gardner book I read, I will read more! It kept me in suspense the entire time! I liked the Bobby Dodge character the most. I recently started watching a tv show with similiar characters. I couldn't imagine going though what he went through, but I guess that is the perks of the job.

Good story line that kept me interested and wanting to find out how Bobby Dodge, a police sniper would be able to avoid being blamed for a shotting that saves the lives of a women and her child. Great plot up to the end that leaves you wondering who was really at fault.

Good book - kept me guessing right to the end. A lot of twists and turns. Lisa just has a little too much sex etc. for me.

Honestly, this was the first Lisa Gardner book I have read and it shall certainly be the last. More clichés than you could throw a stick at. Read John Sandford, Robert Crais, Laura Lippman and/or Michael Connelly instead. This book was pure cheese.

Incredibly suspenseful and a bit graphic at times, Alone made me squirm, but I tore through the pages because it is a really great story.

This was my first time reading a book by Lisa Gardner. I was pleased that I liked it so much. There were some nice twists and turns in it, although part of it reminded me of my own past traumatic experience which made it hard for me to continue on with the book. I am gald that I did though. Lisa Gardner is definitly an author that I will be looking for in the future.

A killer stalks people and he knows exactly when to do it. This is an edge-of-your-seat book!

From the New York Times bestselling author of THE KILLING HOUR and THE PERFECT HUSBAND comes a brilliant new novel of seduction, deceit, and revenge that will leave readers breathless and defenseless because the killer who stalks these pages knows just when to strike...

It's where you're most vulnerable...It's where there's no one to hear you cry for help...It's the last place you want to be when this killer comes...

ALONE.
