" McFadyen writes like a veteran, and Smoky proves that she’s a strong enough protagonist to support a series."—Booklist
You don't want to be at the watering hole where the dark things drink-but Smoky must, to catch a serial killer. McFadyen's (Shadow Man) sequel begins with Special Agent Smoky Barrett trying to decide whether to accept a teaching transfer to Quantico when she and her team are called to the scene of a vicious triple homicide. Sixteen-year-old Sarah, the sole survivor, threatens suicide unless she's allowed to speak to Smoky. Sarah claims that a man known only as "The Stranger" has been targeting her since she was six by killing everyone she has ever loved. Smoky is the first to believe her. Thus begins the case to find the identity of "The Stranger" by deciphering his motive in ruining Sarah's life. McFadyen's sophomore work is more dramatic than its predecessor but just as brutally vivid. The story interweaves Smoky's pursuit with Sarah's journal entries, which detail this inhuman killer's past crimes. This makes for a gripping tale with an ending as shocking as it is tragic. Strongly recommended for all public libraries. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 2/1/07.]-Susan O. Moritz, Montgomery Cty. P.L.s, MD Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
