What would you do if the man of your dreams hides the soul of a killer? Jim Beckett was everything she'd ever dreamed of...But two years after Tess married the decorated cop and bore his child, she helped put him behind bars for savagely murdering ten women. Even locked up in a maximum security prison, he vowed he would come after her and make her pay. Now the cunning killer has escaped--and the most dangerous game of all begins.... After a lifetime of fear, Tess will do something she's never done before. She's going to learn to protect her daughter and fight back, with the help of a burned-out ex-marine. As the largest manhunt four states have ever seen mobilizes to catch Beckett, the clock winds down to the terrifying reunion between husband and wife. And Tess knows that this time, her only choices are to kill--or be killed. Lisa Gardner sold her first novel when she was 20 years old. In 1993 she graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in international relations. She lives in Rhode Island, where she is at work on her next novel of suspense.

Ah, to start at the beginning.
I've read quite a few of Lisa Gardner's newer works and I've become a HUGE fan.
So I decided to go back to where it all started.
It was a joy seeing the groundwork being lain for what would become the trademarks of a master:
Terrific plotting and structure, shocking revelations, head-spinning chapter endings, thrilling action, "real" and complex characters, and dynamic storytelling.
This is billed as Quincy & Rainie #1 although Pierce Quincy has more of a guest starring role and Lorraine "Rainie" Conner is not in it at all.
Two years ago Tess Williams turned in her husband, Jim Beckett, for being a serial killer. He raped and murdered ten women. He put the "psycho" in psychopath. He swore that one day Tess would pay for her betrayal.
Now, Beckett's broken out of Walpole maximum security prison and begun a new killing spree.
He plans to keep his promise to his ex-wife.
Tess is on the run and her 4-year-old daughter, Samantha, is in hiding.
Tess heads for Nogales, Arizona to enlist the help of J.T. Dillon, ex-special forces.
She wants him to train her in endurance, hand-to-hand combat and weaponry.
Tess has a plan of her own.
This leans a little more towards romantic suspense.
I enjoyed it very much.

Lisa Gardner does it again!
Another great read! You MUST check out this author! She does such excellent writing! This one was a great creepy (in a good way, the kind that gets the hair on the back of your neck standing up!!) thrill ride all the way through! Was her husband really that bad? What did this lady go through? Plot twists and turns at every page! With a little romance thrown in for good measure!! Very good at keeping you guessing, wanting to finish the book!
