Come into my parlor . . .

For Kimberly Quincy, FBI Special Agent, it all starts with a pregnant hooker. The story Delilah Rose tells Kimberly about her johns is too horrifying to be true—but prostitutes are disappearing, one by one, with no explanation, and no one but Kimberly seems to care.

SAY GOODBYE

Ratings and reviews

I am a police officer myself so I've seen/heard a lot of things & the brutal rape & torture of a child is not something I ever wanted to re-live..much less read in a book. This book is a major letdown from Lisa Gardner. Very disappointed & sickened @ the same time. DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!

FBI Special Agent Kimberly Quincy gets word that a prostitute has been arrested and has info for her. Deliah Rose tells her that a john is taking street prostitutes to his place, putting poisonous spiders on them and engaging in other dangerous activities. Her friend Ginny is missing as are other prostitutes. She wants Kimperly to stop him. Kimberly's associate Sal Martingnetti, also feels that something is happening to prostitutes. Twice he has had the driver's licenses of three women placed inside his window wipers. The licenses are of prostitutes who have disappeared. However, no bidies have been found and it's difficult to get his superiors to allow a full investigation. Kim agrees to help, even though she's five months pregnant. One night they follow Deliah to a place they know Ginny's boyfriend was at when he was murdered. When confronted, Deliah admits that she's Ginny and the john she referrs to as Dinchara because he has a fetish for spiders. He gets a kick out of seeing fear and has played a tape that had the voice of her mother, being tortured. Kim and Sal must find a way to get evidence on Dinchara. They want Ginny to wear a wire, then they learn that he also has a teenage boy working with him and is grooming a younger boy for future work. Now the mission is to stop Dinchara and rescue the boys. The author knows suspense and has given her readers a story that will keep them mesmerized until the end. Her plot is original and the characters are well drawn. A well done novel that will keep Gardner's fans coming back for more.

je me régale avec les livres de Lisa Gardner en français je le précise car parfois vous m'en proposez en anglais. c'est une sacrée écrivaine dans ses livres il y a souvent un sacré suspense et ça j'adore. dommage qu'elle n'a pas plus de livres traduit en langue française... un grand merci à elle pour les bons moments qu'elle me fait passer grâce à ses livres.
