If Washington, D.C. housewife Eliza Benedict sometimes seems preoccupied, it's easy to imagine why: As a teenager a quarter century ago, she was kidnapped by a serial rapist and murderer. That maniac is now sitting on death row and he is making one last macabre effort to reach out to her. Can she ignore it? And what will happen to her children if she does? Predator and prey; an intense mystery with which every parent can identify.
"Starred Review. Lippman’s taut, mesmerizing, and exceptionally smart drama of predator and prey is at once unusually sensitive and utterly compelling." - Booklist
"Starred Review. All the relationships ... provide depth and breadth to this absorbing story." - Publishers Weekly
"Echoing Lippman's previous stand-alones .... this is a solid choice for mystery fans who enjoy a broader view of crime and its aftermath." - Library Journal
"Ex-journalist Lippman never forgets ... that nothing is more important - or more elusive - than the truth." - Kirkus
