Romance Suspense

FBI agent Kate Donovan turns rogue after an undercover mission goes wrong, ending with the double murder of her partner Paige and her fiancé. Now Kate spends all her time and uses her considerable computer skills tracking the serial killer who murdered her friends. The killer, a man known only to the authorities as Trask, specializes in live webcasts, which he advertises as fantasy role-playing but actually depict the rapes and murders of the young women he's kidnapped. Trask's latest victim is Lucy Kincaid, taken on the eve of her high school graduation. Lucy's family pool their resources and fly to her rescue. But the Kincaids only have 48 hours to find the sadist who's taken Lucy. After hearing about Kate from former colleagues, they track her down and enlist her services -- forcibly. Because force is the only way Kate will help anyone take down Trask. Her plan for five years has been to do the job herself. Lucy's brother, Dillon Kincaid, heads the effort to find his sister and bring her home. Dillon, a forensic psychiatrist, is able to "get into the heads" of the killers he tracks. He doesn't have the time he needs to investigate Trask, so he has to rely on Kate's knowledge of him. Even though Dillon's brother, Jack, describes Kate as a "whack job," Dillon empathizes with the troubled former agent and would like to draw her out and get to know her better. If only they had the time. What none of them realizes is that Trask's end game isn't Lucy's murder. Kidnapping her was only a ploy to find Kate and coax her to come to him, so he can finish the job he started five years before. Kate is the one who got away and Trask isn't about to let a woman get the best him. Trask dreams of the day when he has Kate Donovan right where he wants her -- under him, with his hands around her neck, watching the light fade from her eyes as he squeezes the life out of her. FEAR NO EVIL is a taut, fast-paced thriller. Bad things happen to good people and it keeps the plot moving and the pages turning. Tortured heroine Kate is so far gone, she's dancing on the edge. It takes sensitive (yet manly!) hero Dillon to bring Kate back to herself. FEAR NO EVIL is the final volume in Brennan's trilogy and Trask is the most sadistic villain she's given us. A story guaranteed to send shivers up your spine.

SUMMARY

Instead of preparing for her high school graduation, Lucy Kincaid is facing a vicious execution. Lured by an online predator, she’s destined to die horribly–live on the Internet–while hundreds of heartless viewers watch and vote on the method of her slaughter. Her family’s only hope rests with Kate Donovan, an FBI agent who took on the same sadistic killer once before . . . and lost. Blamed for another girl’s gruesome murder, Kate’s been fighting to clear her name. But she agrees to join the hunt for Lucy– and reluctantly steps back into her worst nightmare. With time running out before the bloody webcast airs, Kate teams up with forensic psychiatrist Dillon Kincaid to get inside the head of her twisted quarry, zero in on his chamber of horrors, and reach Lucy before grim history repeats itself and another innocent’s brutal death goes hideously live.
