Perennial New York Times bestseller Faye Kellerman ratchets up the tension a when a new generation done the blue.
Cynthia Decker became a cop against her father's wishes. But police work is in her blood, and she's determined to make it on her own. She begins to feel a nagging sense that she is being watched. The feeling of dread escalates when she finds some personal effects have been crudely destroyed. It'd a harrowing trip down a dark canyon road that substantiates Cindy's worst fear: for some unknown reason, someone fiendishly relentless is stalking her. Cindy begins to covertly probe her personal and professional lives for identity of the person who wants her frightened, harmed -or dead. As her stalker grows bolder and more devious, Cindy finds her options limited and her friends and colleagues offbounds as the well-concealed rages and dark secrets of those surrounding her slowly come to light and threaten to pull a nightmare out of the shadows and in for the kill.

Beaudry said, "Every time we start shooting the bull, talking about the day, you say things like, 'Yeah, my father once had a case like that.'"As the teasing escalates, Cindy's stalked, threatened, and finally frightened, although it pains her to admit it. There's a killer on the loose, and even if she's not the best cop on the force, she knows enough to turn to her father for help. But first, she has a brief affair with one of the men under his command. It seems a little too obvious a ploy for Daddy's attention and hardly adds to her character--we already know she's immature and a bit of a bitch. But at least this maneuver brings Peter back on the scene, allowing Kellerman to hit her stride as she gets back to a character who holds the reader's interest because he's more than two-dimensional. Sadly, Cindy's not quite ready for prime time; perhaps she'll grow up in her next outing. Or better yet, Kellerman will bring us more adventures by Peter and Rina. --Jane Adams"I'm trying to relate."
"It pisses people off. It makes them think that their experiences are nothin' special. Everyone wants to feel special. You already feel special because you've got all this college. You gotta remember that the average Joe on the force is a high school graduate, maybe a couple of years at a junior college like me. If you're real smart, okay, you do a four-year state, then enter the academy with the idea of doing the gold."
"Like my dad--"
"Stop mentioning your dad. He isn't a legend, Decker, he's a pencil pusher."
Faye Kellerman lives with her husband, New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman, in Los Angeles, California, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
