When the residents of Winston, Texas are safely tucked in their beds someone one vile walks the streets. She stalks her neighbors, harasses their pets, and relishes the weaknesses of the city's most vulnerable. But Nala Green's true obsession is killing a cop named Garrett Corcoran, and anyone who gets in her way, and the justice system is on her side.

When Nala is turned loose by those who underestimate her, an unlikely alliance forms between Officer Corcoran and Victim Advocate Colleen Heenan. As their friendship strengthens, so does Nala's wrath and resolve. With no help from the justice system, Garrett and Colleen are left on their own to fight for their lives and the ones they love. But protecting what she holds dear will push Colleen into a darkness from which she may never return.

About the author

Deborah Dobbs

9 books9 followers
Deborah writes gritty, realistic thrillers and crime fiction that lean into horror (think Stephen King's MISERY). While indeed fiction, her Victim Advocate Colleen Heenan series is inspired by cases she worked during her career as a victim advocate at a mental health organization in Texas. Her novels provide readers with a unique perspective on the criminal justice system.

"With a gifted flair for writing about the dark side of humanity, Dobbs is an author to watch." - Carter Wilson, USA Today Bestselling Author of Tell Me What You Did.

Another incredible Thriller from Deborah Dobbs. Another book that once you start reading you absolutely cannot put it down until you finish it. Another reminder of who may be walking among us since it is loosely based on true events.
