About this listen

The bestselling author of A Killer’s Wife delivers a haunting legal thriller, plunging the reader headlong into the search for a deadly stalker—and a quest to bring a young victim peace.

Far from the neon glare of the Vegas Strip, attorney Piper Danes walks away from a hotshot law firm to work as a guardian ad litem (GAL). Piper was once a vulnerable youth herself, and a GAL gave her hope when she needed it most. Now she’s committed to paying it forward.

Her latest case is unlike any other: fifteen-year-old Sophie Grace is the sole survivor of a gruesome family murder. Teaming up with the formidable Judge Hope Dawson and enigmatic Detective Lazarus Holloway, Piper delves into a world more sinister than she could have imagined.

Their hunt for the truth leads to a serial killer known only as “the Creeper,” a predator who hides in the shadows. But as the team inches closer to unveiling the murderer, they find themselves in the crosshairs. Trapped in a web of lies, Piper will do anything to protect Sophie and stop the killer…before she becomes his next victim.

Critic Reviews

“Saskia Maarleveld is an outstanding narrator. When the audiobook begins, Maarleveld is subtle and understated as she details the developing relationship between Danes and Grace. But once the killer is caught, there are twists around every corner. Maarleveld gives a versatile performance, whether as Detective Lazarus Holloway, who aids Danes in her efforts, or as the attorney defending the killer. The precise and well-drawn characters express the right intensity at every turn. When the novel reaches its surprising conclusion, Maarleveld is at her finest.”AudioFile Magazine

“This book is a creepy thrill.”—Leslie Zemeckis, Montecito Journal

“This gritty thriller is a fantastic but disquieting and scary-to-think-about start to the series. The author’s experience as a lawyer added to the authenticity of the courtroom and other legal aspects of the plot. Gripping scenes and a well-crafted and riveting plot hooked me from the very beginning. It is unsettling at times, but this is balanced with thoughtful moments of Piper with her grandmother and with Sophie as well as some emotional scenes. The book was a page-turner that kept me engaged throughout the storyline.”—Pam Guynn, Mystery and Suspense Magazine

Worth a read/listen too. I used Kindle Unlimited and don't feel cheated out of my hard earned $.

I read/listen to fiction 'who done its' constantly and quickly flick those that are beyond belief to me. I hold no respect for lawyers and their games and egos and this book has chapters if that. However, overall l did enjoy this read.

Loved it!

downloaded this initially because it was part of the Plus catalogue, but loved it. The characters were well described and the narration was fantastic. Can't wait until the next instalment.
