[Linda K · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hard to say that you really "like" a thriller about a child molester...............story involves a mother's actions regarding the abduction of her daughter, who fortunately escapes early on, but then must they both must face the future trial of the accused. Terror increases when he is released on bail and harasses and threatens them. Story makes an abrupt turn and takes the word Nightmare to a whole other level. Ending is rather farfetched and leaves the reader at odds about the outcome.

Nowadays for me at least, finding a good book can be as happy as find a true love. NIGHTMARE. I strongly recommend this book to all respected and brave mothers who will try every single way to protect their kids when the danger is on the corner! And all respect to the police officers who work around the clock to make sure the safety of the citizens! Such a great book! I am gonna find more of your books this summer Dorner!

My favorite of 3 Dorner thrillers, very unpredictable and suspenseful.
Has been filmed for TV with Paul Sorvino, Victoria Principal and Gregg Henry.
