Bez srdce
Portlandský detektiv Archie Sheridan pronásleduje několik let krásnou sériovou vražedkyni Gretchen Lowellovou, až se nakonec z lovce promění v kořist. Gretchen ho deset dní krutě mučí, potom ho však nechá odejít a vydá se do rukou spravedlnosti. Detektiv ale ani potom nenachází klid, protože ho hrůzný zážitek fyzicky i psychicky silně poznamenal - stane se závislý na lécích proti bolesti, nedokáže se vrátit k někdejšímu životu a vzpomínky mu nedávají spát. Když v ulicích Portlandu začne řádit únosce mladých dívek, musí se vzchopit, sestavit novou vyšetřovací skupinu a znovu začít pracovat. K tomu, aby vraha zastavil, potřebuje informace od Gretchen, ale dobře ví, že ho další setkání s ní může už navždycky zničit. V Gretchen Lowellové ztvárnila Chainová vraha neméně zrůdného než byl Hannibal Lecter z Mlčení jehňátek.Její originální thriller nedovolí čtenáři vydechnout a od první až do poslední stránky ho bude udržovat v napětí.
Kill You Twice
Archie Sheridan should be recovering from his past run-ins with serial killer Gretchen Lowell, yet he's just as haunted as the day she let him go. But when a cyclist comes across a corpse in Mount Tabor Park on the eastern side of Portland, Archie suddenly has a new case to focus on. Then comes a call from an unlikely source. After months of ignoring calls from a doctor at the mental hospital where Gretchen is supposed to be locked away forever, Archie hears that she might have inside knowledge about the new investigation. But is she bluffing just to get close to him, and can he risk losing his only lead? One thing is for sure: Gretchen Lowell is back, and Archie must decide if catching a killer is worth facing his demons one more time.
