Publisher's Summary

Electrifying. Addictive. Suspenseful. At the top of her game. Karen Rose, the multiple Sunday Times Top Ten best seller, returns with a new mini-series, new characters and her best novel yet.

Deacon Novak has returned home. The experienced FBI Agent knows that his move to Cincinnati's Major Crime Enforcement Squad will be challenging, but the greater challenge will be saving his younger brother before he becomes the kind of criminal Deacon is chasing.

Faith Corcoran has escaped her identity. Being a therapist to victims of sex crimes was rewarding, but her work with their offenders has jeopardized her life. Her move represents a chance to build a new life in the empty old house her grandmother has left her.

What Faith doesn't know is that a killer has made the house his playground, taking girls into the basement and murdering them. And now Faith is about disturb his fun. With a murderer focused on her, Faith is going to have to put her trust in Deacon if she's going to survive. Because this killer is always closer than she thinks....

The first in a brand new series - and Karen Rose at her tense, tantalising, and thrilling best.

Great Thriller

Even with a slow beginning an excellent story.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book and even though I knew it was finishing, I was disappointed to finish.

Great listening

The narrator really brought this story to life with excellent character narrations. This was an audio equivalent to a really good page turner. Highly recommend this book.

Great book but too sexy

I really liked this book but found the sex scenes way too graphic otherwise I’d have given 5 stars.

On-Going Excitement

What a great listen! The storyline was good, albeit a bit gruesome, and the characters were real and believable.

I found my emotions kicked in few times given the gravity of some of the events happening or had happened.

I found it difficult to turn this one off, just wanted to keep listening.


Karen Rose writes great books and I have just loaded another for what I expect will be another great listen.
