Dr. Frieda Klein is a psychologist. Her gifts have helped many people, including the police in several crime investigations but there is a huge segment of the police who consider her a fraud. Freida was mixed up in the hunt for a serial killer, Dean Reeve seven years ago. The police believe that Dean died at the end of that investigation. Freida knows he didn't but can't convince those who think she is just imagining that he is still alive.
For seven years, Freida has felt Dean in the shadows, watching over her and occasionally protecting her. It seems that he has decided that no one can harm her except himself, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to assert his superiority. Now, a body has been discovered under the floorboards of Freida's house. It is the body of a police officer who believed her and was tracking Dean down.
As the weeks go on, it appears that Dean is tipping over into hostility. Freida is still not personally attacked, but those around her she cares about are targeted. Her niece, her sister-in-law, her mentor and friend, a former student, an immigrant and his son, all feel the wrath of the unseen monster. Yet as the weeks go on, it appears that this may not be Dean's work at all. Does he have a copycat or a rival?
This is the seventh Freida Klein novel and the suspense that characterizes the series is in top form in this edition. Freida must decide how to catch the killer in the shadows and what she must do in order to protect those she loves. The reader will go along on the nerve-wracking journey that surrounds Freida and cheer her on as she fights back against the evil surrounding her. This book is recommended for mystery readers.
