About this audiobook

She destroys the men she loves—and escapes every time. The most dangerous killer James Patterson has ever created is also his most seductive.
 
On his first night with Detroit PD, Officer Walter O’Brien is called to a murder scene. A terrified twenty-year-old has bludgeoned her kidnapper with skill that shocks even O’Brien’s veteran partner. The young woman is also a brilliant escape artist. Her bold flight from police custody makes the case impossible to solve—and, for Walter, even more impossible to forget.
 
By the time Walter’s promoted to detective, his fascination with the missing, gray-eyed woman is approaching obsession. And when Walter discovers that he’s not alone in his search, one truth is certain. This deadly string of secrets didn’t begin in his home city—but he’s going to make sure it ends there.   
 

Ratings and reviews

This was trippy, not quite what I was expecting, but it had me so engrossed in the story. I loved the dual timelines, looking back and working forward toward “now” learning the story in pieces kept me on the edge of my seat.

The worst Patterson book
