Fatal Pattern

By Kate Angelo

A hyper-intelligent stalker attacks forensic psychologist Dr. Tori Crew at knifepoint, shattering the fierce independence she's built since her parents' unsolved murder. Forced into an off-the-books criminal investigation, Tori must push her expertise--and her fiercely guarded heart--to the breaking point as a killer's pattern emerges.

Homicide Detective Blade St. James has been Tori's friend and protector since childhood. Haunted by his own past of parental abandonment, Blade is determined to build a stable life and find the peace that always seems just out of reach. But when Tori's life is threatened, his protective instincts shift into overdrive. As they are plunged deep into a conspiracy with roots in her past, the boundary of their friendship blurs as danger closes in and their hearts reveal a truth they can no longer deny. Can they unmask the sophisticated serial killer before they become the final, fatal piece in the pattern?

In this pulse-pounding, nonstop suspense thriller, Kate Angelo delivers jolting plot twists and swoony romance that will suck readers in until the last page.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Page-Turner

Angelo has hit another home run with this story that has a delicious creep-factor to it. From the beginning, readers identify at least one villain, but the actual diabolical killer stays hidden until the end. I was clueless until right before Angelo revealed this person. That’s the way a suspense book should be. The main characters, Tori and Blade, are likeable, have great chemistry, and don’t do stupid things. The suspense is solid throughout, and the romance is just right for this genre. This story moves at a good pace, with nothing over the top happening. It’s believable with just the right amount of tension. While part of a series, you won’t miss anything critical if you read this book first. The first story provides some backstory, but the novel is a self-contained mystery. Excellent read.
