Product Description "Seconds passed; minutes. She could hear movement now in the waiting room she had just left...it was the metal magazine rack she was sure, that crashed to the tile floor. Then quiet. She strained to hear in the darkness. Nothing more, and then... The air moved in the room and she knew. He was here." As a young psychology student, Hailey Dean's world explodes when Will, her fiancé, is murdered just weeks before their wedding. Reeling, she fights back the only way she knows how: In court, prosecuting violent crime...putting away the bad guys one rapist, doper, and killer at a time. But dedicating her life to justice takes a toll after years of courtroom battles and the endless tide of victims calling out from crime scene photos and autopsy tables. Just as she grows truly weary, a serial killer unlike any other she's encountered begins to stalk the city of Atlanta, targeting young prostitutes, each horrific murder bearing his own unique mark. This courtroom battle will be her last.
Hailey heads for Manhattan to pick up the pieces of the life she had before Will's murder, training as a therapist. In a vibrant new world, she finally leaves her ghosts behind. But then her own clients are brutally murdered one by one by a copycat using the same M.O. as the Atlanta killer she hunted down years before. As the body count rises across Manhattan, Hailey is forced to match wits not only against a killer, but the famed NYPD.
Unless she returns to her former life and solves the case, still more innocent people will die at the hands of a killer who plans to get her, before she can get him!

Nancy Grace great writer! November 18, 2009 Book Lover (Chicago, IL) I have watched Nancy Grace on TV for quite sometime. She is terrific. Gets down to the point and does not allow anyone to "pull the wool over her eyes".
She has done great work on the stories of the children that have been missing. Such a heartbreak. But she will keep on working on these stories and others til the end.
I would have liked to been in a court room when she was a District Attorney.
Great lady and Mother.
Keep up the good work and write more books. Enjoyable reading!
Excellent suspense! November 14, 2009 Penny A. Musok (New York State) I was expecting the very best story possible from Nancy Grace: she has been there, she's been the victim and the advocate for victims (which gives her a unique insight), she is great with building up drama (she does it nightly on her show), and she loves plot twists (Bombshell!!!). She did not disappoint with this story. Her character Hailey Dean was clearly a strong depiction of herself, which would bother me with any other writer, but with Nancy Grace, it works very well - Nancy is such a dynamic person that it only makes sense to use her own personality (at least in part) as the main character of this book. The writing was crisp and flowed easily even though she could have gone overboard with legal speak (she is a genius when it comes to law).
All in all, this was an excellent first novel for Nancy Grace, and I expect her to continue with this character Hailey Dean for several more installments. There is great potential here! I give this novel 5 stars because I believe it has everything that is required for me to strongly recommend this book to everyone who is interested in suspense and drama.
OK book but doesn't keep the reader on the edge of their seat. November 13, 2009 Aliena--GA. USA (GA. USA) It's an ok book for a first time crininal thriller but the ending was very disappointing as it left things between the characters "hanging". Maybe she is planning a sequel. This said, I still love The Nancy Grace Show!
Excellent November 11, 2009 Robert Nandal (Texas) I would highly recommend this book by Nancy Grace. It is based somewhat on what happened to her in real life but the names have been changed. This is an excellent read, especially if you like Nancy Grace.
Too Pat! November 10, 2009 B. Ferris (Northern CA) I'm sorry to say this book didn't take my breath away but it was just OK. I wasn't drawn to the heroine like I should have been. For being so good at her job as to get all of those defendants sent away for good she wasn't careful in her parts of her life after leaving Georgia. not a tight book IMHO
