Robin has spent the last seven years sleeping with the lights on. She's become proficient with a gun and hasn't had one night's peace in all the time that Glenn has been incarcerated. He's written her from prison with a promise that he will kill her. Now, the unthinkable has happened -- Glenn has escaped.
San Diego Detective William Hooper put Glenn behind bars. William has also been in love with Robin all this time. The fateful night her roommate was murdered, William asked Robin if she'd been intimate with Glenn because all the women he killed, also strippers, had had a relationship with him. Robin walked out of William's life that night. And he's regretted his words for the last seven years.
Glenn laid out an intricate escape plan and a rich lifestyle south of the border, after he kills Robin and William. An intelligent, cold sociopath, Glenn starts a new killing spree as he cuts his way closer to Robin. With each death, her fear escalates and that's just how he wants her -- afraid. His obsession with her competes with his desire for revenge. Robin should fall apart when she comes face to face with Glenn, but she's not as distraught as he would believe. She has an inner strength that drew Glenn and William to her in the first place.
Allison Brennan sets a fast, heart-pumping pace from Glenn's escape to the culmination of KILLING FEAR. Brennan's story promises to shock you. The relationship between Robin and William builds at a complimentary tempo with the intense suspense. A well-written book.
Book Summary
Theodore Glenn is bright, charismatic, and loves to inflict pain . . . both on his victims before they die and on those who later find their mutilated corpses. At his trial seven years ago, Glenn vowed vengeance on his persecutors: Detective Will Hooper, the cop who nabbed him, and beautiful Robin McKenna, the stripper whose testimony put him behind bars.
When a catastrophic disaster sets convict Glenn free, he blazes a freshly-bloodied path across San Diego County. But the death he craves most is Robin McKenna's.
Putting aside their past troubled relationship, Will rushes to protect Robin, now a savvy businesswoman operating her own upscale club. As the killings mount and Glenn proves a master manipulator, Robin and Will become snared in a twisted web of horror. But the shocking truth is even worse, for this macabre mystery has a twist: the evil they face is even more deadly than they fear.
