Carter Mays is approached one day by two women who are seeking help from a psychopath, Mike Sweeney, who has killed before and is now giving one of them, Dana Carrington a year to live her life to its fullest before he comes back to kill her. In some sick way he thinks he is giving her a gift. When her friend Erin talks her into hiring Carter, a private investigator, for not only protection but to help catch the guy, Dana agrees. This madman only promised to kill her sooner if she went to the police. Taking the chance to talk to Carter at a gym would be less suspicious than police headquarters. Will Carter be able to find out who this guy really is before it is too late? This is a suspense you are not going to want to miss.

The story is fast moving but the author also covers all details of the main character, Carter's case. Therefore you are never missing any important information. Alan Cupp also is great about including scenes that give you background insight on what type of police officer he use to be and his relationship with the guys still on the force. I love this type of insight that helps you understand the character all the more. It makes the story real to the reader when they can feel a deeper connection to the character. Especially when it is a series that will continue.
