New York Times bestseller Brenda Novak’s third novel in the Evelyn Talbot series sees the return of psychiatrist Dr Evelyn Talbot in her purpose-built facility housing America’s most terrifying psychopaths. This is SILENCE OF THE LAMBS meets Karen Rose…
Tortured and left for dead at sixteen, Evelyn Talbot turned her personal nightmare into her life’s work—studying the disturbing psychopathy of some of the world’s most vicious serial killers. Now a leading psychiatrist at Hanover House in a small Alaskan town, she tries to believe the past will never come back to haunt her—until a woman goes missing from a cabin nearby, and every clue points to the man who once brutalized her…
As her boyfriend, who is the area’s only police, begins to investigate—and finds not one but two bodies—Evelyn can’t forget that her would-be killer, Jasper Moore, was never caught. But there are no new faces in tiny Hilltop, no one who seems suspicious or potentially violent. In this twisted game of cat and mouse, Evelyn is certain of only one thing—Jasper must be hiding in plain sight. And if she can’t find him before he comes for her, she won’t be lucky enough to survive twice…
Ellen Leahy says
Too far fetched. If Jasper had plastic surgery she still would have recognized his voice. The end was a big let down, I get that there is another book but he forgets his laptop and makes all these mistakes? Then when he is caught nothing much happens, they just arrest him? Also Jasper tells the police guy he might have spotted the bad guy at the gas station, didn’t know for sure until he saw a blonde girl waiving for help in the back of the truck. He just tells this by the way I might have seen the guy. In this Alaskan town, with the prison in it, they have only one real cop? If you saw a woman waiving for help wouldn’t you go to a landline and call for help? What about FBI, this guy has been killing people in different states for over 20 years?
