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.
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.
