When she was just 12 years of age, Eve Black was the only member of her family who survived a serial killer's attack. It's been 20 or so years and she is still obsessed with the man tho stole her family and has never been caught. Teaming up with Ed Healy, one of the police officers who investigated her family's deaths, she writes a true crime novel, putting it all out there... hoping it will incite the killer to try again.... The Nothing Man .. that's what the newspapers called him. There were never any clues to his identity ... no motive that anyone could detect .... and he is reading her book. The Nothing Man knows she will never give up looking for him ... This utterly compelling story is expertly crafted. It's like reading a book within a book ... uniquely original. The reader knows who the killer is as eve relates her story of past events merging into today's actions. It's also the story of the killer ... his reactions to Eve's telling ... as he secretly reads her book... his coming to understand that Eve knows much more than he ever suspected... his sorrow at leaving her alive. All I can really say is .. WOW! I read this one practically in one sitting. It's a real nail-biting page turner. Highly recommend this one! Many thanks to the author / Blackstone Publishing / Netgalley for the digital copy of this riveting, suspenseful crime fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

it was a slow start for me, I got lost in the various telling of the story. But once I caught on to how the story was told, I was hooked. It was an amazing read. By the end I couldn't put it down. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend reading it!
