Description
FROM THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
Murder and mystery are peppered with dark humour in this fast-paced thriller from the bestselling crime writer and author of The DCI Ryan Mysteries.
----------------------------
There's a thin line between obsession and madness...
With the woman he loves trapped in a coma, psychiatrist and criminal profiler Doctor Alex Gregory is starting to lose hope she'll ever come back to him. Desperate for a distraction, he takes on a new case at the behest of the Los Angeles Police Department.
It's a long way from home, but he agrees to profile whoever is responsible for sending threatening letters to a beautiful starlet Mia Mendoza, who's refusing to film her latest romantic comedy until the letters stop. It's putting the entire production in jeopardy, and Gregory is their last hope.
When things take a sinister turn, Gregory is forced to step inside the dark mind of a killer who will never, ever stop because it's more than just killing...
It's an obsession.
