The Wild Place

About the Book

Julie Landis, a successful account executive and community volunteer, is injured risking her life to save two young children. She doesn't expect the fifteen minutes of fame that follow-not to mention the anonymous hate letters, sadistic acts, and death threats that result from the publicity.

Who is her tormentor, and why does he hate her? She has no idea what he looks like, or if she ever had contact with him. Nothing in her past would explain why someone would want revenge against her-or so she thinks.

As her unknown predator stalks her, leaving taunting clues, his actions become increasingly bizarre and horrifying. When he ruthlessly murders a woman, Julie knows that her life, and that of her lover, Andy, is in grave danger.

She desperately tries to identify her tormentor, but before she can, he strikes without warning. He viciously attacks her. She fights back. But as her strength is slipping away, she sees him turn his fury on Andy. She must find a way to stop him-or die trying.
