ByPublisher Description
In this “impossible to put down” thriller, a woman returns to Australia to face the serial killer she survived and the detective ex-lover she still desires (New Woman).
Makedde Vanderwall may have endured her abduction by the notorious Stiletto killer, but facing him as a key witness at his trial feels like a fresh nightmare from the moment she steps off the plane in Sydney. First there’s the press, eager to capture footage of the stunning, six-foot blonde, a former model with a PhD in forensic psychology within her grasp. Everyone wants to know how Mak’s doing now that she’s back in the city where the harrowing kidnapping took place. No one more than Detective Andy Flynn, the man she’d made the mistake of falling in love with. The cop who saved her life.
Seeing Andy again brings back all her feelings—and her fears. And just when the verdict is about to be handed down, the Stiletto killer makes a daring prison break, aided by an accomplice who is just as twisted as he is. Terrified, Mak flees the country, but with the press on her heels and a killer keen to finish what he started, it’s going to take everything Mak has to save herself this time.
“Makedde Vanderwall ranks up there as [a] contemporary Aussie literary icon.” —The Daily Telegraph
“Mak is the female equivalent of Jack Reacher.” —Joanne Harris, New York Times–bestselling author of Chocolat
