fault Craig for his betrayal?   Especially when Penny
has a secret of her own…and she would rather end

truth!

A STRANGER IS LISTENING
One by one, the women were disappearing.
Each had been young, vulnerable…and each had
been spending time on the Internet “chatting” with
a mysterious stranger.  It was Carrie Blue’s job to
track down that stranger, to put herself on the

fantasy and reality collide.  It proves far more
difficult than she ever could have imagined to
resist the lure of a twisted mind—one that may
already have figured out who Carrie is, and marked
her as his next kill…
