Seven years ago, Robin McKenna helped to put a sociopath named Theodore Glenn in prison after he murdered four of her friends, all strippers who danced with Robin at RJ's, a club in downtown San Diego. Theodore had become fixated on Robin from the first night he visited RJ's, and when she refused to become involved with him, he tortured and murdered her friends so that he could see Robin's reaction to their deaths. Theodore wanted Robin for himself, and was infuriated when she began a passionate affaire with Will Hooper, a San Diego cop who was working on the murder cases. Their affair ended, however, on the day Will accused Robin of lying about having a previous relationship with Theodore. Crushed by Will's lack of trust, Robin refused to speak to him again. But when Theodore was convicted, he vowed revenge against all those who had crossed him, including Robin and Will.

Since that day, Robin has worked hard to block the fear that still forces her to sleep with the lights on every night. She has taken self-defense classes and knows how to use a gun with deadly accuracy, but she knows that someday, Theodore Glenn will find a way to seek his revenge, and she will have to fight to keep from dying at his hands. Her fear becomes a terrifying reality when an earthquake destroys the outer wall of San Quentin, and Theodore and several other Death Row convicts escape into the San Francisco Bay. Theodore wastes no time in returning to San Diego, and with the help of a female paralegal who contacted him while he was in prison, he manages to elude capture while tormenting both Will and Robin with phone calls and notes that warn of his deadly intentions.

Will is determined to right the wrong he committed years ago against Robin, the woman he could never forget and still loves. He knows that she needs his help and protection with Theodore hunting her, but Robin doesn't forgive easily, no matter how many times Will apologizes. But when new evidence is uncovered that proves Theodore was framed for the fourth murder, and that Robin was the intended target, Robin must face the fact that two people want her dead. The only question is, which one will pounce first?

KILLING FEAR is a bone-chilling tale with a villain straight out of your worst nightmares. Theodore Glenn is pure evil, a heartless, emotionless monster who enjoys bringing pain to the weak and innocent. While brilliantly written, this book is definitely not for the faint of heart. I spent a few nights wanting to sleep with my lights on after reading this story. But if fear is what you crave, KILLING FEAR delivers to the heart-stopping end.
