In the first book of her "Fear" trilogy, Kay Hooper pulls readers into the depths of absolute terror with a chilling thriller that pits two natural adversaries against each other in the ultimate game of cat and mouse. One is a merciless human predator who strikes again and again, collecting ransom, getting away safely - and leaving his hostages dead. The other is Lucas Jordan, a psychic profiler in the Special Crimes Unit whose specialty is nothing less than . . . hunting fear.
