Book description
An unexpected delivery from the florist points to a secret admirer
for Shelby Belgarden, but when an ominous phone call and a disturbing
email follow, the teenaged sleuth and her family realize that the
dangerous obsession of a stalker lies behind them. While the messages
become increasingly sinister, the police are unable to uncover the
culprits identity, and Shelby finds her world has turned into a
nightmare of fear and betrayal.
When an arrest is made, it seems that life can return to normal for
the Belgarden family, but the stalker proves more cunning than anyone

captor before he can carry out his deadly plan.
