FEAR NEVER DIES

Theodore Glenn loves to inflict pain . . . both on his victims and on those who later find the mutilated corpses. At his trial seven years ago, Glenn vowed vengeance on Detective Will Hooper, the cop who nabbed him, and beautiful Robin McKenna, the stripper whose testimony put him behind bars.

When a catastrophic disaster sets Glenn free, he blazes a freshly bloodied path across San Diego County. But the death he craves most is Robin McKenna’s.

Putting aside their past troubled relationship, Will rushes to protect Robin, now a savvy businesswoman operating an upscale club. As the killings mount and Glenn proves a master manipulator, Robin and Will become snared in a twisted web of horror. But the shocking truth is even worse: The evil they are to face is even deadlier than they fear.

Spoiler Info
(view spoiler)[
Gina Clover, Robin’s assistant manager was really Sara Lorenz.

Diana Cresson killed Anna Clark and later Jim Gage. She’d dated Will for a while until he stopped seeing her. Her intended target was Robin. She didn’t mind him seeing someone else, just not someone as unworthy as a stripper.

Robin was eventually abducted by Glenn, taken to Will’s house where she was able to get his gun and kill him, only after he’d cut her pretty bad.

Carina and Nick got married. Will and Robin got engaged at her reception. (hide spoiler)]

Sounds like another good one.
