Someone from Jess Koster's self absorbed family, her law office, or boyfriend should have realized she needed help and demanded she visit the nearest psychiatrist's office quickly. She should have been quarantined there until she got the help she needed. Jess had reason to be anxious, but her bizarre symptoms did not match the problems in her life. The plot was original and would have been credible, but Jess kept getting in the way.
One of her better stories. The plot twist was not revealed until the end of the book. It was surprising to see how the expectations of sexism in the workplace was represented 20+ years ago.
A good suspense novel. Slightly boring at times, but overall an enjoyable read.
good mystery @ lawyer

People are inexplicably disappearing from Chicago prosecutor Jess Koster's life. First her mother vanished without a trace eight years ago. And now a client, the victim of a brutal, sadistic rapist, is also missing. Someone is disrupting Jess's neat, ordered existence with chaos and terror. And from the shadow of her past, a maniac is watching her . . .
