An unspeakable act has ripped apart the idyllic town of Bakersville, Oregon, and its once-peaceful residents are demanding quick justice. But though a boy has confessed to the horrific crime, evidence shows he may not be guilty.

Officer Rainie Conner, leading her first homicide investigation, stands at the center of the controversy. It's hitting too close to home, bringing back her worst nightmares, threatening to expose her secret sins. But with the boy's life at stake, she won't let anything stop her from finding the real killer.

With the help of FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, Rainie comes closer to a deadly truth than she can imagine. Because out there in the shadows a man watches her and plots his next move. He knows her secrets. He kills for sport. He's already brought death to Bakersville and forever shattered the community. But what he has really come for is Rainie â?? and he won't leave until he has destroyed her.

Didn't like this book. It never grabbed me and I couldn't find one character I liked. Really dragged, but then the end rushed to conclusion. For a small town where everyone knew everyone's else's business, these folks were sure able to keep a lot of secrets. And it's scary that all their law enforcement personnel were dysfunctional. Rainie, especially, is one big hot mess. Get a grip, girl!
Normally this would have been a DNF, but I made myself finish because I wanted to see how the author would pull things together. I liked the research info about serial killers -- found it interesting. ( )

Have read all these Quincy and Rainey books out of order but it hasn't really mattered. Lisa Gardner writes her stories well enough to stand alone. ( )

The unthinkable happens in s small peaceful town in Oregon -- a school shooting. Two students and a teacher. The sheriff's son caught with guns in his hands. Did he do it? Was he coerced? These are the questions that are investigated by local cop Rainey and FBI profiler, Pierce Quincy, each of whom have their own ghosts. Gripping. ( )

This is the 3rd thriller I've read by Lisa Gardner and I did not realize it was the 2nd novel in a series until adding it to my Library. I read it as a stand-alone novel and it encompassed my full attention without my feeling any gaps to my understanding of the storyline or backgrounds of Officer Rainie Conner and FBI profiler Pierce Quincy.

As a former educator who worked for many years in public schools at the elementary level it was in some ways difficult to read this book at the beginning of a new school year as although I am now retired I know all the emotions and particularly all the opening preparations. In viewing the copyright date of 2001, it is almost beyond comprehension how many school shootings have occurred since the novel was published. As I shared in another review of a novel by Lisa Gardner, her writing is heart-pounding, heart-wrenching, and heart-riveting. She introduces compelling and driven characters and I was again on the edge of my seat until all the mysteries of the investigation were revealed.

Just as people think they can accurately assess a teacher's life so do many believe they can just as accurately assess the lives of individuals that serve in the field of law enforcement. Only those that live with teachers and those that live with a member of a law enforcement truly know the sacrifices that are made by those that serve in these capacities and both are occupations of commitment, dedication and service. Lisa Gardner artistically creates realism that evoked many emotions.

This novel poignantly describes the effect and interpretation of law enforcement and community actions and reactions by the family members that lose a loved one in a school shooting and the emotions of the family trying to cope and understand that their loved one participated in a school shooting. Everyone processes grief differently and in their own time regardless of gender or age. The author has not only written a riveting suspense story but tragically one that has happened all too frequently. Let us all spread more kindness than judgment and innuendo. There was a reason the generations that came before us passed on the old adage, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." ( )

Boekbeschrijving
Een verschrikkelijke misdaad verscheurt het idyllische dorp Bakersville, Oregon, en de anders zo vreedzame bewoners eisen rechtvaardigheid. Hoewel een jongen de afschuwelijke misdaad heeft bekend, wijst alles erop dat hij wellicht onschuldig is. Agent Rainie Conner, die haar eerste moordonderzoek leidt, staat in het middelpunt van de hevige beroering; het roept haar ergste nachtmerries uit het verleden op.
