Review by Booklist Review

London barrister Ingrid Lewis' philosophy is that even the worst criminals deserve legal representation and a fair trial. This has meant defending criminals who might well have been found guilty if it weren't for Ingrid's considerable legal skills. But her successes begin to turn sour after she's threatened, attacked, loses her fiancé, and finds a dead woman in her apartment. Ingrid fears this is all the work of John Webster, a sociopath she got acquitted of stalking who is now focusing his unwavering, unwanted, and truly terrifying attention on her. For months, Webster's threats have escalated, but Ingrid has no hard evidence to prove he's a danger to her, and the police write her off as paranoid. She decides it's up to her to catch Webster out, but she begins to wonder if her fears are misplaced. Is there someone else who has a serious grudge against her? If so, who? And why? And what lengths might they go to take their revenge? Fixated on discovering the truth, Ingrid can't trust anyone except herself. When she does figure out what's happening, her worst fears are realized. An intense, unputdownable roller-coaster ride packed with relentless suspense, terrifying twists and dramatic turns, dark violence, unforgettable characters, and an ending guaranteed to shock. An absolute must-read.
