From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the critically acclaimed Alex Delaware series comes a masterpiece that introduces an unforgettable new heroine and perfectly illustrates why “Jonathan Kellerman has deservedly earned his reputation as the master of the psychological thriller” (People Magazine).
Brilliant, beautiful, and incredibly effective, psychologist Dr. Grace Blaise specializes in treating troubled souls and healing tormented minds—perhaps because she bears invisible scars. After witnessing her parents die in a bloody murder-suicide at age five, Grace sought refuge in her own remarkable intellect and found solace in the loving couple who took her in. But as an adult, Grace’s successful career is pitted against a hidden, high-stakes dark side that’s heartbreaking. When Grace’s two worlds shockingly converge, her past comes roaring back.
The crisis begins when the busy therapist meets a new patient whose tragic past seems to have eerie resonances with her own miserable childhood. But things get complicated: she has seen Andrew Toner before, under strange circumstances, and must refuse to treat him. Grace thinks this is the last she’ll hear from the young man, but she is shocked to learn that he was murdered shortly after leaving her office, a killing that leads a homicide investigation to her doorstep.
Horrified by the killings and fearing her double life will be revealed, Grace decides to investigate the crime herself. But when she stumbles upon the dead man’s true identity, a horrifying experience from her childhood is violently awakened, forcing her to confront an evil act that occurred decades earlier and demand revenge. Suddenly stalked by a ferocious predator, Grace must harness the will to survive that she’s always had in her life while facing her own darkest demons.
