"New York Times" bestselling author Beverly Barton delivers a sizzling novel of suspense about a small town sheriff on a desperate hunt for a twisted serial killer that takes her to the edge of danger and desire. He's their secret admirer, wooing them with phone calls, love letters, and special gifts. From a distance, he admires them, desires them, despises them. And when he gets close enough, he kills them all. Adams County, Alabama, is a small, friendly place where everyone knows each other - but not well enough, it seems, because Sheriff Bernie Granger has a serial killer on her hands, a total psycho who stalks, woos, kidnaps and kills his victims. It's Bernie's first big case, a chance for her to prove herself to her new boss, former Memphis police detective Jim Norton, but it won't be easy.
