Dr. Catherine Cordell was almost murdered. She escaped death by shooting and killing her attacker. She has begun a new life in a new city. But, suddenly, history appears to be repeating itself there. Women are being attacked under identical circumstances, and it all seems somehow related to Dr. Catherine Cordell. The peaceful and structure life she created is coming apart, and it is up to a few police detectives to put the pieces of the puzzle together, stop the attacks and catch the perpetrator.

I enjoyed this book so much. It is well written, believable, has interesting characters, and, because of the author's background, is educational. The suspense builds and builds. It never hurts to have some romance added to the mix. I am really looking forward to continuing with this Series.
