A killer is hunting for the perfect family.
And nothing will stand in his way.
Dubbed The Family Man by police, he preys on single mothers and their children-watching, waiting, inserting himself into their lives until his twisted fantasy shatters...and he kills again.
Crime Scene Investigator Holly Jennings has seen her share of horror, but this case cuts too close to home. A single mother herself, Holly knows the victims' fear all too well. When a close friend and her daughter become the latest targets, the hunt turns personal-and deadly.
As Holly races to stop a murderer who always seems one step ahead, she's also forced to face the demons of her own past: guilt over her husband's death and the unexpected pull toward Brendan O'Neil, a compassionate veterinarian who's breaking through her defenses. But The Family Man has noticed Holly too-and she's about to become part of his most terrifying fantasy yet.
Fans of James Patterson's Alex Cross and Lisa Gardner's D.D. Warren series will love Holly Jennings-fierce, flawed, and unforgettable.
