Hunting
Fear
August 2004
Bantam suspense/thriller
The
"Bishop" Special Crimes Unit Series
He's
no ordinary kidnapper.
Not only does he strike again and again, but he collects the ransom,
gets away safely, and leaves his helpless hostages dead. Now,
after months of eluding the best that law enforcement can put
against him, this monster has left nothing in his wake but a cold
trail of unconnected victims.
He's
no ordinary cop. Lucas Jordan, a key agent and profiler in
Noah Bishop's Special Crimes Unit, has an extraordinary skill:
he locates missing people. But his uncanny ability comes with
a price, and his methods rouse mistrust in the hard-nosed cops
forced to call him into their investigations.
Now
Jordan has come to Clayton County, North Carolina, where the latest
in a string of kidnapping victims has turned up dead. Complicating
the situation is the presence — and predictions — of
someone who's even more of an outsider than Jordan himself: carnival
psychic Samantha Burke, a woman out of his own haunted past. Her
warnings meet with skepticism from the local police but spur Jordan
on to do what he does best: hunt fear.
But
the killer he is hunting is hunting Jordan — and he's already
several moves ahead in a twisted game whose rules Jordan must
learn in order to have a fighting chance. For his psychopathic
opponent has extended a very personal challenge — and he's
about to threaten the one life the profiler values even more than
his own ...
