Terrified

Kevin O'Brien

Slowly unearthing long-buried secrets and fears, a patient killer terrorizes Seattle while stalking a single mother in the New York Times bestselling psychological thriller by Kevin O'Brien--now reissued for the first time since its original publication nearly 10 years ago.

The more you know, the more you fear...

TRUTH
Megan Keeslar died years ago--or so everyone believes. In fact, she disappeared to escape from her sadistic husband, Glenn. When dismembered body parts were found near their home, Glenn was convicted of his wife's murder. And Megan, terrified for her unborn child's safety, never came forward with the truth...

IS MORE TERRIFYING
Since then, Megan has built a new life in Seattle for herself and her son, Josh. She's never forgotten that she's a fugitive, and Josh knows nothing about her past. But someone does. First, there are anonymous emails and threats, just as she learns that Glenn has been released from prison. Then the unthinkable happens: a masked man breaks into their home and abducts Josh...

THAN FICTION
To save her son, Megan must put herself at the mercy of a maniac. Is Glenn a cold-blooded killer determined to destroy her world piece by piece, or is the truth even more twisted? Megan thought she knew fear, but her nightmare is only beginning...
