Following the murders of two young women, exactly one year apart, with both cases possibly linked to a popular online dating service, NYPD Detective Ellie Hatcher undertakes a special undercover assignment to lure a killer targeting single Manhattan women, but the case soon becomes all too personal for a young woman who had lost her own father to a serial murderer. 75,000 first printing. - Blackwell North Amer
When two young women are murdered on the streets of New York, exactly one year apart, Detective Ellie Hatcher is called up for a special assignment on the homicide task force. The killer has left behind a clue connecting the two cases to FirstDate.com, a popular online dating service, and Flann McIlroy, an eccentric, publicity-seeking homicide detective, is convinced that only Ellie can help him pursue his terrifying theory: Someone is using the lure of the Internet and the promise of love to launch a killing spree against the women of New York City.
To catch the killer, Ellie must enter a high-tech world of stolen identities where no one is who they appear to be. And for her the investigation quickly becomes personal. She fits the profile of the victims, and she knows firsthand what pursuing a sociopath can do to a cop - back home in Wichita, Kansas, her own father lost his life trying to catch a notorious serial murderer.
When the FirstDate killer begins to mimic the monster who destroyed her father, Ellie realizes the game has become personal for him, too. Both hunter and prey, she knows her only choice is to find the killer before he claims his next victim - who could very well be Ellie herself. - HoltzbrinckIn this electrifying thriller, a rookie detective goes undercover on the
