Synopsis: A Manhattan forensic psychologist is targeted by a madman in this &“taut, mind-blowing . . . Genuinely gripping thriller&” (Booklist). Dr. Barrett Conyors knows just how dangerous Richard Glash is. She&’s studied him. An easily triggered paranoid schizophrenic obsessed with Charles Manson and John Wayne Gacy, he&’s currently serving four life sentences for an appalling series of murders. What a terrible mistake it would be if he were to be transferred to a local, far less secure, hospital for the criminally insane. It&’s what Glash&’s bleeding-heart attorney Carla Phelps demands. It&’s what Barrett fears. The nightmare comes true when Glash escapes. Taking Barrett and Carla hostage is Glash&’s first move. His next is inconceivably chilling. Barrett and Carla won&’t be the only ones to suffer. What Glash has planned is to terrorize the entire city of New York. He&’s sworn to become one of the most notorious mass murderers in recorded history—and he&’s determined to make good on his promise.
