Featuring a foreword by Michael Connelly, this relentlessly suspenseful thriller from the New York Times bestselling and Edgar award-winning author of the Inspector Banks novels marks the first time that Peter Robinson has set a novel in America.Â
Sarah Broughton has come a long way. She€s the star of a hit cop show on TV. She lives in a beautiful California beach house. And€"most importantly€"she€s put her dark past behind her€¦ as well as her old name, Sally Bolton. No need for anyone to know about that.
When Sarah begins receiving letters mysteriously signed with the letter €œM,€ she thinks they€re from a harmless admirer€¦ until her real name appears in the third letter. And then she finds that name inscribed in the sand near her home €“ next to a body.
The message is clear: Someone is watching Sarah€s every move. Someone so obsessed with her that he won€t stop at just one murder in order to prove his love.
Panicked, Sarah turns to Detective Arvo Hughes of the LAPD, a man who specializes in hunting down the most dangerous stalkers. But nothing in Hughes€ experience has prepared him for the mastermind he€s up against. For the killer, there€s no cure for love. And for Sarah and Hughes, there€s no way out.
