Abandoned

For FBI Special Agent Smoky Barrett, her colleague s wedding is cause for celebration. Until a woman staggers down the aisle incoherent, wearing only a white nightgown. A fingerprint check determines that she s been missing for nearly eight years. Her coldly efficient captor toyed with her mind and body, imprisoning her, depriving her of any contact with the outside world. As Smoky fits together the pieces of what remains of the victim s fractured life, a chilling picture emerges of a cerebral psychopath who doesn t take murder personally, never makes a mistake, follows his own sinister logic, and has set the perfect trap.

McFadyen expertly builds the cat-and-mouse suspense to a crescendo and then twists the reader s expectations at the end. Library Journal
