From the bestselling author of the Bone Collector novels, soon to be an NBC series
Bill Corde looks down at the face of the murdered girl and sees the horror of sudden death. He cannot know, as he stands there at the trampled, muddy scene beside the college girlβs corpse, that his own life is about to slip into terror. He cannot know that everything he holds precious is about to shatter before his eyes. He cannot know that his careerβand his familyβare about to enter a new dimension of danger. For Bill Corde, the killer is everything he fears most. For Sarah, Billβs wild, learning-impaired daughter, trapped in a world of frustration and ridicule, he may be just the person sheβs been waiting for. Someone who understands her worries and loneliness. Someone who signs his notes βThe Sunshine Man.β Someone she can run away withβeven a perfect stranger.
