Dani Justice has been having the same dream over and over --
the dream of a serial killer. This makes her the star
player in Noah Bishop's second organization, Haven, the
civilian side of the FBI's Special Crimes Unit.
Dani has returned to her hometown of Venture, Georgia, to
live with her twin sister Paris. She wants to use Paris'
own special abilities to examine the dreams that, while
essentially the same night after night, vary enough in some
details to cause concern. Dani is not the only one to come
to Venture. The Boston serial killer, who Bishop and
company have been investigating, has taken up residence in
Venture and wastes no time in making his presence known, as
women go missing with disturbing speed.
Sheriff Marc Purcell was Dani's childhood friend, her first
love and the reason she left Venture when her psychic gift
revealed too much. And it's Dani who Marc visits when the
first two bodies show up in unidentifiable pieces. He knows
of her abilities, accepts what she cannot and wishes for
the closeness of their youth. But before he can pursue the
relationship of their past, he must work with Dani,
convince her to trust in herself and the other members of
the SCU, and find the monster who's setting the trap to
take them all down. When the monster begins invading Dani's
mind while she's awake, the quest for a killer takes on
even greater urgency. Will the trap they're knowingly
walking into be their salvation, or their downfall?
BLOOD DREAMS is Kay Hooper's latest in the
Bishop/Special Crimes Unit ongoing series -- and one of the
best. Dani, her twin Paris and Marc Purcell, along with
special agent Hollis Templeton and Haven operatives Gabriel
and Roxanne Wolf are an eclectic group of heroes with
unique and varied psychic gifts that make them important
members of the SCU. Knowing that no one is safe in Hooper's
stories makes BLOOD DREAMS difficult to put down, and even
more difficult not to peek to the end of the book (don't do
it!). The reader will struggle along with Dani to figure
out the significance of her dreams, and the suspense of
these characters willingly walking into a known trap,
wondering at the horror they're going find, is Hooper at
her very best. The frightening twist at the end is a great
payoff for the reader and leaves us eagerly awaiting the
next SCU novel!
In each of her New York Times bestselling novels,
critically acclaimed author Kay Hooper has led
readers to unforgettably chilling encounters with fear and
evil. Now, in her latest thriller, she takes us on a
terrifying manhunt for a serial killer no ordinary cops can
stop–a psychopath who seems to step out of a living
nightmare.
He’s the kind of killer we instinctively fear the most. A
killer without boundaries, without conscience, without any
fear of being caught. And his latest victim is terrifying
proof that no one is safe: the daughter of a powerful U.S.
senator.
Now, with the national media calling for justice and a
grief-stricken father seeking vengeance, Bishop and his FBI
Special Crimes Unit find themselves in a unique situation.
This time even psychic cops aren’t enough to stop evil. Aid
comes in the form of a fledgling civilian organization of
unorthodox crime stoppers. Operating outside of any
government oversight, without sanction or official
authority, they are comprised of a membership every bit as
talented and eccentric as Bishop’s SCU–if not more so. And
that is no coincidence. For Bishop helped launch this
organization barely two years before.
Dani Justice knows all about monsters. They haunt her
nightmares–and her life. But she never expected to find
herself doggedly on the trail of a real flesh-and-blood
predator so cunning, he’s eluded the best law enforcement
could send up against him; so deadly, he doesn’t hesitate
to kill even a senator’s daughter. Or a cop.
Dani doesn’t want to hunt this killer. She doesn’t want to
risk the life she’s made for herself, or her hard-won
peace. But she doesn’t have a choice. Because his bloody
rampage has hit far too close to home. Because Dani alone
commands a weapon powerful enough to destroy him.
And because Dani knows something even Bishop doesn’t. Dani
knows how the hunt ends. It ends in fire. And blood. And
death.
