Her Darkest Nightmare, first in an electrifying series from New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak
THE HUNT FOR A SERIAL KILLER
Evelyn Talbot knows that a psychopath can look perfectly normal. She was only sixteen when her own boyfriend Jasper imprisoned and tortured her—and left her for dead. Now an eminent psychiatrist who specializes in the criminal mind, Evelyn is the force behind Hanover House, a maximum-security facility located in a small Alaskan town. Her job puts her at odds with Sergeant Amarok, who is convinced that Hanover is a threat to his community...even as his attraction to beautiful Evelyn threatens to tear his world apart.
BEGINS WITH AN ESCAPE FROM HER PAST
Then, just as the bitter Alaskan winter cuts both town and prison off from the outside world, the mutilated body of a local woman turns up. For Amarok, this is the final proof he needs: Hanover has to go. Evelyn, though, has reason to fear that the crime is a personal message to her—the first sign that the killer who haunts her dreams has found her again. . .and that the life she has so carefully rebuilt will never be the same...
"Brenda Novak's seamless plotting, emotional intensity, and true-to-life characters...make her books completely satisfying."—New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan

Starred review from August 1, 2016
Ever since her high-school boyfriend, Jasper Moore, kidnapped, sexually assaulted, tortured, and killed Evelyn Talbot's three best friends and then tried to do the same thing to her, the mystery of why some people kill without remorse has haunted Evelyn. Now 20 years later, as the psychiatrist in charge of Hanover House, she has dedicated her life to finding out exactly what turns people into psychopaths. Of course, not everyone in the small Alaskan town of Hilltop is thrilled with living near a prison full of serial killers, especially Sergeant Amorak, the sole law-enforcement official. But when a local woman is brutally murdered, Evelyn and Amorak know they must put aside their professional and personal differences and work closely together to stop a cold-blooded killer. With plenty of white-knuckle plot twists that rival those seen on Criminal Minds, a sharply etched cast of characters, and a strong sensual thread woven throughout the story, the first in the new Dr. Evelyn Talbot series proves that best-selling Novak, author of the popular Whiskey Creek series, is as equally adept at crafting dark, intense suspense novels as she is at writing emotionally compelling love stories.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
