With an ex-husband in trouble with loan sharks, an ex-
boyfriend just released from prison and a wheelchair-bound
ex-cop living next door, Liz Clark's life is far from
settled. And it's about to get much more complicated.
There are a lot of unexplained incidents happening in
Dover, Delaware, the small New England town where Liz grew
up. She's now a professor at Sommerville College and one of
her students has been found brutally murdered -- in her
office. There's someone stalking her and, even though Liz
is terrified, she must get a grip, toughen up and find out
who the stalker is so her life can become bearable again.
But who can Liz trust? Who is pursuing her? While she
dreams of sultry nights with her ex-boyfriend, very
different plans are being made. Liz is in danger and her
life, as she knows it, is about to change.
He's the Game Master. He keeps a small memento from each
one of his victims. What better way to remember the screams
of terror, the flesh, the blood. The "professor" will be
the best of all. Patience is making his appetite keener and
his ultimate prize greater. The Game Master will feast on
her flesh and deny himself nothing.
AT RISK is a dazzler. It will make your palms sweat, your
heart race and will excite lovers of suspense, as well as
those who enjoy a good romance. Ms. French delivers a
thriller and the tension is kept at fever pitch from
beginning to end. This is a novel that will long be
remembered by everyone who reads it. It's one of the best.
Don't miss it.
At seventeen, Liz Clarke fled a broken
romance, a terrible family secret, and a hard-scrabble life
as the daughter of a drunken commercial fisherman on the
Delaware Bay. Ambition and determination turn her from a
frightened girl to an educated and worldly college professor.
But when Liz returns home years later to
a new teaching position and an isolated three-hundred-year
old farmhouse, she doesn't expect to find one of her
students brutally murdered in her office or to hear from her
old flame, the county's bad boy Jack Rafferty, the same night.
And she doesn't realize that she's at
risk from the sadistic Game Master, a serial killer who
tortures and murders women before disposing of their
mutilated bodies in crab traps. Stalked and terrorized, Liz
has two choices—run or stay and fight for her life and the
future she's struggled so hard to achieve.
