Fear is his favorite medium
FBI agent Karen Youngerโs worst nightmare just came true. A vicious serial killer from a cold case has struck againโhis crimes spanning two different continents, eight years apart. But heโs only getting started, and with each young woman brutally beaten to death across San Carlos, California, heโs sending someone a message.
Glenda Lindstrom is facing a nightmare of her own. Her abusive ex-husband, Ralph Beringer, is back in townโrepeatedly calling, stalking her kids, breaking into their home. He doesnโt want a reunion, he wants revenge. Beringer has never forgiven Glenda for taking their son away and remarrying. But she canโt convince anyone that the man terrorizing her is capable of far worse than misdemeanors.
Beringer is rapidly losing control over his murderous impulses, and he has Glenda and her family exactly where he needs them to complete his grisly scheme. With only a handful of clues and gritty instinct, Agent Younger is running out of time to solve the case before a madmanโs rage erupts again.
