Snow was falling when they found her floating downriver. She was naked, still chained, her beauty forever frozen in a block of ice. Jason Briscoe, the man convicted of the crime, claims it wasn't murder. Just rough sex gone too far. Prison psychologist Holly Alexander agrees. Sex offenders are her speciality, after all, and she approves the handsome Briscoe's parole. But that's before Holy meets his living victims. Before the strange signs surface. Before the tables are turned and she becomes the hunted. How Holly knows everything, but can prove nothing. And somewhere in the cold shadows, he waits to kill again...
This is a very intense thriller that kept my interest throughout. As the main character, Holly Alexander, becomes increasingly isolated from friends and family, I wondered how she would survive and overcome her enemy. Cutler doesn't make things easy for Holly and while sometimes I found the obstacles seemingly endless, I now appreciate the problems Holly faced.
i got so pissed off at the heroine of this book, i wanted to rip her a new one. a prison psychologist in charge of men convicted of sex crimes falling in love with a killer? being convinced by him he is innocent? riiiiight! i spent most of this book wanting to smack her. too predictable.
