Now out of a deep coma after being abducted and nearly
drowning, Claire Morgan has retrograde amnesia and only
recalls her past up to before she came to the Lake of the
Ozarks area five years ago. Her lover, psychiatrist Nick
Black, has been caring for her in his opulent lakeside
hotel and clinic at Cedar Bend Lodge. It's killing him that
she doesn't remember their relationship. She's regressed to
the woman he first met when she suspected him of murder in
one of her cases. Trying not to force her memory and
allowing her space is harder than Black ever imagined.
As soon as she's able, Claire is back at work as a Canton
County, Missouri, homicide detective with partner and good
friend Bud always at her side. Black feels it's too soon,
but Claire has always been strong-willed. Within days of
being back at work, the horrific murder of the nurse who
cared for Claire and became her friend shocks everyone,
especially when clues point to Black being the killer. It's
obviously a frame, but who would do such a thing?
Black is convinced Thomas Landers, Claire's obsessed
stalker, did not drown in the accident that caused her
amnesia. Landers was incarcerated in a hospital for the
criminally insane when he broke out and abducted Claire. A
devious and criminally brilliant serial killer, Landers is
a master of disguise, so he could be anyone, anywhere.
Convincing Claire she's in danger is not an easy task.
Black will do whatever it takes to protect Claire, and it
almost costs him his life. Will they be able to locate
Landers before he makes good on his promise to again
possess Claire? And will she get her memory back?
REMEMBER MURDER, the fifth entry in Linda Ladd's
Claire Morgan series, is riveting and compelling in its
plot progression and characterization. Returning a villain
from an earlier story makes the scenario even more gripping
and suspenseful for those who've read the earlier books in
this compelling series. I am so glad Ms. Ladd is back with
this definitive Claire Morgan psychological thriller.
She can't remember why he chose her—or what he did
to her. But Detective Claire Morgan knows that something
terrible happened to her the night a deranged serial killer
escaped from the mental ward. Looking for pleasure. Looking
for pain. Looking for her...

Remember Murder
If only she could remember his face or his voice...if
only she could comprehend the evil in his mind or the depths

is—to her and everyone she loves...
