Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
She's searching for the man who killed her daughter.nbsp;nbsp;But will he find her first?
In a novel that grips like a waking nightmare, master storyteller Joy Fielding creates a searing examination of a horrifying crime, the limits of the law, and a woman's terrifying journey into a killer's twisted mind.
In one tragic afternoon everything changed.nbsp;nbsp;Until then, Gail Walton had considered herself lucky.nbsp;nbsp;With a successful husband, two daughters, and a house in the New Jersey suburbs, Gail lived a safe and predictable life.nbsp;nbsp;Then the unthinkable happened: her six-year-old daughter Cindy was abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered.nbsp;nbsp;
Consumed by grief and rage, Gail has retreated into herself.nbsp;nbsp;Her family and friends fear she's losing her grip on reality.nbsp;nbsp;The police warn her to let them handle the investigation.nbsp;nbsp;But not one of them knows the truth: that Gail has a description of the killer, a plan to set herself up as a decoy, and a room in a run-down boardinghouse.nbsp;nbsp;And Gail Walton has just bought herself a gun....
When her six-year-old daughter is abducted and murdered, Gail Watson plans to use herself as a decoy to catch the killer but she may end up as his next victim.
