With HEARTSICK, Chelsea Cain took the crime world by
storm, introducing two of the most compelling characters in
decades: serial killer Gretchen Lowell and her obsessed
pursuer Portland Detective Archie Sheridan. The book spent
four weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and
garnered rave reviews around the world. But the riveting
story of Archie and Gretchen was left unfinished, and now
Chelsea Cain picks up the tale again. When the body of a young woman is discovered in Portland’s
Forest Park, Archie is reminded of the last time they found
a body there, more than a decade ago: it turned out to be
the Beauty Killer’s first victim, and Archie’s first case.
This body can't be one of Gretchen's — she’s in prison —
but after help from reporter Susan Ward uncovers the dead
woman's identity, it turns into another big case. Trouble
is, Archie can't focus on the new investigation because the
Beauty Killer case has exploded: Gretchen Lowell has
escaped from prison. Archie hadn't seen her in two months; he'd moved back in
with his family and sworn off visiting her. Though it
should feel like progress, he actually feels worse. The
news of her escape spreads like wildfire, but secretly,
he's relieved. He knows he's the only one who can catch
her, and in fact, he has a plan to get out from under her
thumb once and for all. Chelsea Cain has topped her own bestselling debut
thriller with this unputdownable, unpredictable, edge-of-
your-seat read.
