"No two persons ever read the same book."
Edmund Wilson, critic
It has been a while since a vicious murderer killed Kimberly Quincy's mother and sister and put a gun to Kimberly's own head, but rage and guilt are Kim's constant companions, isolating her even as they toughen her in the struggle to become an FBI agent. After she literally stumbles on the body of a woman who looks very like her dead sister, her tightly controlled emotions spill into a furious search for a serial killer that compromises her career. In concert with an equally dedicated (and attractive) Georgia law enforcement officer, her estranged father (a former FBI profiler), and a handful of forensics specialists, she pursues clues to solve a deadly game, the prize for which is a kidnapped young woman. The forensic detail is great, and Gardner works in some genuinely creepy moments, especially when she zeroes in on the victim struggling against horrific odds.
"Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack." --Virginia Woolf

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
"Oh, it is absurd to have a hard and fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read."
Oscar Wilde
I love my books enough to set them free for others to enjoy...hope that is you, but if not feel free to pass it along for another to enjoy!

"A book is a mysterious object, I said, and once it floats out into the world, anything can happen. All kinds of mischief can be caused, and there's not a damned thing you can do about it. For better or worse, it's completely out of your control."
Paul Auster

The OBCZ was overflowing, so I pulled this book from the shelf. I'll either release it during my travels or donate it to a local library.
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
I left this book on a blue chair in a small grouping of two blue chairs and a table in the Atrium Tower, three floors below Lobby level. Hopefully someone from STC or one of the other groups meeting at the Hyatt will pick it up.

I found the book in the downstairs lobby of the Hyatt Regency in Downtown Atlanta during the national Mock Trial tournament. Sorry...that was a while ago! But I think I'll drop it in the mall food court in my hometown. Hattiesburg, MS! Hope someone finds it that will take care of it!
I read part of it...but it's just not my genre. Hope you liked it, though!
