Robert Mallon has lived for 10 quiet years in affluent Santa Barbara, when an encounter on a beach with a mysterious young woman shatters his peaceful, carefully constructed life. Despite Mallon's desperate attempts, he loses her and becomes obsessed with discovering why. He hires detective Lydia Marks to uncover the secrets of this stranger's life, and what they learn propels them into a terrifying world of sinister secrets and deadly hatreds.

Targeting Mallon is the master hunter Parish, a man with an expert understanding of evil who preys on rich people's desires for dominance and revenge. Mallon is drawn into a lethal struggle with this deadly adversary - and then another, and another, and another.

We loved this book! Toward the middle, I was wondering whether I would, but the ending was amazing. Lots of killing, but how it was done was great. One big sex scene at the biginning that wasn't necessary, but if you can tolorate that, the rest of the book is fantastic.

Wow! What an ending!

Really great plot. A number of surprises. Great narrator. Mostly on the west coast but a bit of diversity in location.

Tremendous Book

I enjoyed this book, for the most part, because it was based on an unusual premise... Don't want to spoil it for you. Very well written. Sit back and relax... ignore the far-fetched parts... and the the fact that the narrator's female voices sound a bit like Ronald Reagan... and enjoy the ride.

Interesting premise...

Good story but ending left some hanging details that leave question marks in the reader’s mind

Over all good story

Many of the Amazon reviews downgrade this novel b/o its implausibility. I have to agree that it requires several leaps of faith to accept its premise, but then I've found that many of Dean Koontz's and Stephen King's works are implausible, but I still enjoy them immensely. Perry is a good enough writer that I had no trouble dealing with the unbelievable parts, and I enjoyed the novel without difficulty. And Kramer's narration was excellent.

Good read (or listen), but not Perry's best

One of the few books that enhanced my anxiety level as I listened! Characters are well developed and Mr. Kramer’s narration was great! One of Perry’s best!

Slow start but stay with it!

Another triumph
