Book description
When a caller to a late night radio talk show announces his intention
to murder a woman he's kidnapped within seventy-two hours, mayhem
ensues. Paris Gibson, the mysterious host of the show in question, finds
herself in the spotlight for the first time in years. Who has been
abducted? And what is the identity of the caller, known only as
'Valentino'? The clock is ticking and in the midst of the frenzy to
track down the missing woman, Paris finds herself working alongside
someone she's tried hard to forget: Dean Malloy, the police psychologist
who's heading up the investigation. With every hour that passes, the
hunt grows increasingly desperate but how significant are the secrets
that Dean and Paris conceal in their mutual past? They need to identify
Valentino before he can execute his murderous plans . . . and before he
can exact vengeance on Paris for trying to stop him. HELLO DARKNESS is
vintage Sandra Brown - breathtaking, electrifying and unputdownable.
