THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
You never forget your first case.
Officer Walter O'Brien is called to a murder scene on his first night with Detroit PD. A terrified young woman has bludgeoned her attacker with shocking skill.
She is also a brilliant escape artist. Her flight from police custody makes the case impossible to solve - and, for Walter, impossible to forget.
His fascination with the missing, grey-eyed woman approaches obsession. And when Walter discovers that he's not alone in his search, only one thing is certain . . .
The string of murders didn't begin in his home city - but he's going to make sure it ends there.

'No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades.' Lee Child
'Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along. It's what fires off the movie projector in the reader's mind.' Michael Connelly

A truly incredible novel, gripping and mysterious with a great central character obsessively tracking down a female suspect, but something is very very different and deadly about this woman.......
