Robin McKenna has realized her dreams of owning her own
nightclub and the opening of her first art showing. Seven
years before, she stripped at a club to pay her way through
college. Seven years ago, four of her friends were brutally
mutilated and killed. The killer, Theodore Glenn,
threatened revenge on everyone who helped to convict him.
Robin has spent the last seven years sleeping with the
lights on. She's become proficient with a gun and hasn't
had one night's peace in all the time that Glenn has been
incarcerated. He's written her from prison with a promise
that he will kill her. Now, the unthinkable has happened --
Glenn has escaped.
San Diego Detective William Hooper put Glenn behind bars.
William has also been in love with Robin all this time. The
fateful night her roommate was murdered, William asked
Robin if she'd been intimate with Glenn because all the
women he killed, also strippers, had had a relationship
with him. Robin walked out of William's life that night.
And he's regretted his words for the last seven years.
Glenn laid out an intricate escape plan and a rich
lifestyle south of the border, after he kills Robin and
William. An intelligent, cold sociopath, Glenn starts a new
killing spree as he cuts his way closer to Robin. With each
death, her fear escalates and that's just how he wants her --
afraid. His obsession with her competes with his desire
for revenge. Robin should fall apart when she comes face to
face with Glenn, but she's not as distraught as he would
believe. She has an inner strength that drew Glenn and
William to her in the first place.
Allison Brennan sets a fast, heart-pumping pace from
Glenn's escape to the culmination of KILLING FEAR.
Brennan's story promises to shock you. The relationship
between Robin and William builds at a complimentary tempo
with the intense suspense. A well-written book.
Theodore Glenn is bright, charismatic, and loves to inflict
pain . . . both on his victims before they die and on those
who later find their mutilated corpses. At his trial seven
years ago, Glenn vowed vengeance on his persecutors:
Detective Will Hooper, the cop who nabbed him, and beautiful
Robin McKenna, the stripper whose testimony put him behind
bars.
When a catastrophic disaster sets convict Glenn free, he
blazes a freshly-bloodied path across San Diego County. But
the death he craves most is Robin McKenna's.
Putting aside their past troubled relationship, Will rushes
to protect Robin, now a savvy businesswoman operating her
own upscale club. As the killings mount and Glenn proves a
master manipulator, Robin and Will become snared in a
twisted web of horror. But the shocking truth is even worse,
for this macabre mystery has a twist: the evil they face is
even more deadly than they fear.
