She can keep the doors locked.nbsp;nbsp;The lights on.nbsp;nbsp;Her fingers crossed.nbsp;nbsp; But she can't stop the memories of a terrifying crime.nbsp;nbsp;Or keep it from happening again.

The murderer took his time choosing his pretty victims.nbsp;nbsp;Then he took his time killing them.nbsp;nbsp;What was left when he finished made even veteran Boston cop Harry Jordan feel sick.nbsp;nbsp;But this time the killer made a mistake.nbsp;nbsp;His victim was found alive.

Armed with a police sketch of the man, Harry wanted national publicity, the kind he could get from Mallory Malone, the "TV detective."nbsp;nbsp;Her top-rated show reenacted heinous crimes and often jogged witnesses' memories enough to shake loose the clue that could break the case.nbsp;nbsp;

But not this time.

This case was different for self-made career woman Mallory Malone.nbsp;nbsp;This cop was different.nbsp;nbsp;The case scared her; the cop was falling in love with her.nbsp;nbsp;Her instincts told her to run.nbsp;nbsp;But the killer already knew her name.nbsp;nbsp;Her address.nbsp;nbsp;And a secret that could destroy them both.
