Product Description: "New York Times" bestselling author Beverly Barton delivers a sizzling novel of suspense about a small town sheriff on a desperate hunt for a twisted serial killer that takes her to the edge of danger and desire. He's their secret admirer, wooing them with phone calls, love letters, and special gifts. From a distance, he admires them, desires them, despises them. And when he gets close enough, he kills them all. Adams County, Alabama, is a small, friendly place where everyone knows each other - but not well enough, it seems, because Sheriff Bernie Granger has a serial killer on her hands, a total psycho who stalks, woos, kidnaps and kills his victims. It's Bernie's first big case, a chance for her to prove herself to her new boss, former Memphis police detective Jim Norton, but it won't be easy. This killer is uncannily smart. It's as if he knows what Bernie's thinking. And his next move is more than shocking - it's chillingly personal. A terrifying game is underway. A desperate hunt has begun. And a rookie sheriff is determined to stop a killer at all costs. But is she getting nearer to catching him or drawing far too close to his deadly flame?

Rating: - Better

Rating: - CLOSE ENOUGH TO KILL
