Riassunto

A taut, atmospheric and gripping thriller with on-going detective character Jonathan Stride working a murder case that's a bit too close to home! In Alabama, the luck of a convicted murderer is about to change. Sentenced to life imprisonment, he can't believe it when a chance to escape arises. Now on the loose, will he seek revenge on the woman who put him behind bars ten years ago? In Minnesota, detective Jonathan Stride's partner, Maggie Bei, wakes up suddenly in the middle of the night. A sufferer of recurring nightmares, the last thing Maggie expects in the dead of a cold winter's night is that her own home has become the scene of a violent crime!

Recensione:

'In Freeman's chilling, atmospheric latest, Jonathan Stride returns from a Las Vegas stint (in Stripped) to head the major crimes detective bureau of his former Duluth, Minn., department. When the husband of Maggie Bei, Stride's former detective partner, is murdered, Maggie becomes the prime suspect, and Stride determines to clear her. Meanwhile, Dan Erickson, an ambitious Duluth county attorney, hires Stride's lover, PI Serena Dial (who returned with Stride from Vegas), to pay off a blackmailer. Freeman slowly weaves the ca (Publishers Weekly)

Brian Freeman is, quite simply, a first-rate storyteller. STALKED is scary, fast-paced, and refreshingly well written. The characters are so sharply drawn and interesting, we can't wait to meet the next one in the story. Freeman has another winner. A really great read. (Nelson DeMille)

'Freeman just keeps outdoing himself with each book. This third thriller involving Stride and Serena (after Immoral and Stripped) is a striking display of skilled storytelling that will have readers surprised more than once well before the shocking ending. Highly recommended for fiction collections.' (Library Journal Reviews, US)

'A strong narrative crammed with twists and studded with sex and violence; a mysterious, even mystical, sense of place; and a well-crafted set of characters and relationships make this one of Freeman's stronger crime thrillers.' (Publishers Weekly)
