Do I Know You

By L. Kaye Lowery

He could hide in the shadows of the night as a surreptitious predator, or reside in plain sight during the light of day, teaching himself how to successfully reside in two distinct and duplicitous identities. He is the master of duality and deception, with the pathological ability to perform deranged, monstrous crimes against women...himself, a victim of perverse, sexual abuse as a young child...while still capable of love; albeit, a narcissistic kind of love. And his ultimate obsession and love would be for Sonya.Sonya Kingsbury had suffered great sadness as a teenager after the loss of her older sister, Sophie, to the brutal murder of a serial killer. Sophie's murder plunged her entire family into a deep, debilitating depression. Sonya was determined, however, to leave the past behind and move on with her life. She accepted the offer of a full scholarship to the prestigious Memphis College of Art. After a bad break up, Sonya left her long-term boyfriend and moved away from her loving family and her southern Mississippi home to live and attend college in Memphis; a city that was completely unknown to her. Sonya settled into her routine at school and found it easy to make friends in her new environment. Through a part time job as a bartender, she made friends with Jamie Patterson, a Lieutenant for the Memphis Police Department.A series of 'secret admirer' notes and gifts left in various places for Sonya to find, seemed innocuous, and initially flattered her...that is until she had an eerie feeling that someone had been in her small apartment...closet doors left open; radio turned off; missing personal items. Did she misplace some of her lingerie or did she accidentally leave them in the dryer that she shared with her anti-social, eccentric landlord? Was all this connected to her secret admirer or was she just being paranoid? Did Sonya make a dangerous mistake by leaving the security of her home and close-knit family in Mississippi to live, by herself, in an unfamiliar city? Was her life truly in peril? Was a diabolical stranger stalking Sonya, and willing to go to any lengths to possess her? Or was it a harmless admirer? Lieutenant Jamie Patterson would come to regret her own lack of professional action, not only as Sonya's friend, but also as a detective. Jamie's initial lack of investigation ultimately left Sonya vulnerable to the danger that awaited her...and left Jamie the eventual investigator of a crime that could have been averted. When Sonya is abducted on a cold, dark, rainy night, Jamie becomes desperate to find out who has been stalking Sonya and who took her. Will her search lead her to the right suspect? Or will she make the biggest mistake of her law enforcement career? Will anyone ever know who Sonya's captor is? And through it all, the questions that continually race through Sonya's mind are, 'what do you want from me?' And...Do I know you?
