Dark Places
.
Maggie Connolly never intended to work with the police, but Detective Reid Hanlon's latest homicide case requires the expertise of a shrink. What's a detective to do with an eight-year-old boy who hasn't said a word since his family's brutal murder? But Maggie did not expect that treating the boy would drag her into a serial killer's crosshairs. Nor could she have anticipated that her own father might be attacked. And evidence left at the scene indicates that her dad knows the suspect. Did her psychologist father treat their killer before his dementia diagnosis? Like the child in her care, her dad can't tell them what he saw; he doesn't even remember Maggie. But both the mute child and Maggie's father are in mortal danger-this killer has never before left a witness alive. And it soon becomes apparent that Reid and Maggie did not come upon this case accidentally. They were chosen as pawns in a madman's game, one stretching back decades. Their killer is meticulous, determined, and worst of all, patient. And Maggie's blood is now part of his endgame.
