Jessica Langford is a therapist who's confronted her own fears and now makes a living as a radio show host, helping callers confront their phobias. But one night, a single call from a listener brings back the overwhelming terror she felt when she was buried alive as a teenager during a serial killer's spree. The killer was never caught and seemed to quit murdering after Jessica was rescued.
Now, the call leads Jessica to believe the killer is back and she's terrified, but determined not to let the fear threaten her life. Detective Jake Merridan is investigating the deaths of local girls, but finds no leads. Could the calls to Jessica be connected?
This is an excellent mystery/suspense/romance, well written as Ms. Cassidy's work always seems to be. Jessica is a character you can admire for overcoming her past fears (I don't think I'd ever sleep alone again after her experience!), but she's also very real as she bravely struggles with a present-day, very realistic fear. Jake, of course, is the typical sexy cop hero -- gotta love him! You'll be intrigued by the mystery and root for the romance.
