Verdict: The legions of Clark fans will enjoy this blended mix of serial killer thriller and courtroom drama. Background: Assistant District Attorney Emily Wallace, recovering from losing her husband in Iraq, takes the lead in prosecuting the estranged husband of a Broadway star for her murder. Unbeknownst to her, her next-door neighbor is a serial killer, and Emily is in danger of becoming his next victim. Many readers may guess who the real villain is in the legal drama, and a plot point about Emily's heart transplant and the donor is perhaps stretching it a bit much. The hints throughout the novel that Emily reminds people of the murdered star also seem awkward. But this reviewer kept turning the pages, and many other readers are sure to follow suit.
