Detective September "Nine" Rafferty seems to be in the crosshairs of a serial killer who leaves a message on the victims' bodies. One of September's grade school art projects was sent to her with the same message scrawled across it in blood. How did the killer get it? What is his connection to September? Is she his next target? To answer these questions and find the killer before he strikes again, September will have to dig in to her past to find all possible connections.

The first connection is to Jake Westerly, a friend of one of the victims and September's old classmate, a boy who broke her heart. Jake insists he's innocent and September believes him. She'll need to prove it to a team that thinks he should be a prime suspect. She'll also need to figure out how to keep her feelings out of it, even though she still finds him distractingly attractive.

NOWHERE TO HIDE is a tension inducing thriller with just the right element of romance. Picking up some of the threads left hanging in Nowhere To Run, this companion book further develops the serial killer plot as well as the story of the Rafferty family. I find the Rafferty family intriguing and complex, and want to know more about what makes them tick. The villain radiates evil which always makes for a good read. I found myself missing some of the personality quirks from the first book and found this story a little flat in comparison. Still, NOWHERE TO HIDE will keep fans of romantic suspense on the edge of their seats.
