Non-Fiction Memoir
What if the man you'd loved for years vows, when you leave
him, to destroy you? What if he transforms into a ruthless
tormentor, stealing your freedom, undermining your sanity,
and threatening your safety? This is not a
fictional scenario. It is Kate Brennan's life. Kate
is a well-respected writer and scholar, a highly independent
woman with simple tastes and a complicated romantic past
that leave her perfectly content with singlehood. So when
she meets Paul—a wealthy, charismatic businessman with a
great deal of free time—she's wary of getting involved.
Eventually, though, his polished charm and relentless wooing
win her over. Things move quickly, and it is only after the
two have moved in together that Kate discovers the serial
infidelity, the unbalanced psyche, and the sordid secrets
lurking under the Mr. Right facade. Kate lets Paul
into her life with trepidation, and when she ends the
relationship, she finds she can't get him out of it. With
limitless resources, he dedicates himself to stalking her:
he tracks her movements, arranges for people to break into
her home, interferes with her work, and even relocates to
her new neighborhood. His harassment lasts for more than a
decade and, as Paul is still at large, it continues to turn
Kate's life upside down today. This visceral memoir
not only lays bare the mind of a stalker, but also shows how
a smart, successful woman can fall prey to a warped and
powerful man who has the money and connections to keep her
under his watchful eye. Both frightening and insightful,
In His Sights is a gripping tale of one woman's
descent into the dark side of love and how she has
fought—and still struggles—to free herself.
