having a difficult time settling on a topic for her major research essay
and seeks the advice of a senior lecturer, Simon Tearle. He sends her

avoiding Lola? Being very persistent, Lola tracks her down and
unexpectedly gets involved in the havoc that Professor Bradshaw
warned her about.
Meanwhile, the intelligent and independent Frieda Klein has been
avoiding her friends because Dean Reeve, a serial killer and psychotic
murderer with a penchant for cruelty and twistedness, is after her. She
has thwarted him too many times in the past. Frieda knows Reeve will
use anyone at random as a pawn in his nasty catch as catch can game
with her, and she does not want to have Lola get hurt either.
Suddenly, things shift and they are on the run. As Frieda tries to work
