Book Description:
For Paris Gibson, her popular late night radio show is both an escape and her one real contact with the outside world. Her world of isolation is brutally threatened when one listener a man who identifies himself only as "Valentino" tells her that her on-air advice to the girl he loves has caused her to jilt him, and that he intends to exact his revenge. First he plans to kill the girl, then he will come after Paris.
Joined by the Austin police department, Paris plunges into a race against time in an effort to find Valentino before he can carry out his threat to kill. To her dismay, she finds that one of the people she must work with is crime psychologist Dean Malloy, a man with whom she shares a history that had a catastrophic effect on both their lives.
As the clock ticks down, and Valentino's threats come closer to becoming a reality, Paris suddenly finds herself forced to deal with a killer who may not be a stranger at all.

This is the type of novel that I love to read from Sandra Brown. The storyline is excellent, the action is wild and the romance is hot!! Readers are snared from the beginning with a sinister phone call to a radio-talk show host, followed by the kidnapping of the daughter of a prominent citizen. And even though you may think you have everything figured out and know who the psycho is - you don't. Not until the very end. The story takes you behind the scenes of a how a radio show operates, as well as into the teenage underworld of sex, drinking and drugs. Although this is truly a work of fiction, I think its a must-read for parents of teenagers because it stresses the importance of communication and keeping close tabs on these young wannabe adults.

Not one of Sandra Brown's best, but enjoyable.

Paris Gibson is a radio DJ. One of her listeners blames her for the advice she gave & he lost his girlfriend. He threatens to come after her & does.
The criminal psychologist who comes to her aid is an old flame. The ending will keep you up reading past your bedtime.

"a gripping story of abduction, betrayal, and murder that could have been ripped straight from the headlines." -pretty much says it.

Jenny B. (Great book! Loved the characters!
Paris Gibson is a talk show host and receives a frightening phone call that the caller is going to kill someone. You will never guess who the killer is!!! I thought I had it figured out more than once. You will be guessing the whole book....but don't peek! It's worth the wait!
Dartha H. (This is one of the Sandra Brown books that sends you looking for another by her. Not at ALL like the "Best Kept Secret" book that she wrote. Which was trash. Wouldn't even make good confetti because the paper was sub-par, just like the writing. This one was nothing like that...lol

I don't read a lot of nonfiction books but I enjoyed this one. It didn't take me a long time to read it because it held my interrest.
Sandra Brown does it again. I really enjoyed this book. I think it was one of her better ones.
