Seven years ago, Phillip Margolin seized the imagination of
thriller readers everywhere with his chilling breakout bestseller,
"Gone, but Not Forgotten," After five subsequent "New York Times"
bestsellers, Margolin now returns to the haunting terrain of "Gone,
but Not Forgotten" with a mesmerizing tour de force of
psychological suspense, an electrifying tale of revenge and
retribution that shows a master storyteller at the very peak of his
craft.
"Thursday: Subject is still combative after four days of applied
pain, sleep deprivation and minimal food."
Vice squad detective Bobby Vasquez, for months on the trail of a
slippery underworld figure, receives an anonymous tip that directs
him to a mountain cabin. He races through the idyllic Oregon woods,
expecting to close the book on a long-standing vendetta. What he
finds instead opens a Pandora's box of horror that will haunt him
to his dying day.
"8: 10: Subject bound and gaffed and placed in upstairs closet
at end of hall. Turned out lights in house, drove off, then parked
and doubled back. Watched from woods."
Within hours, Vincent Cordoni -- a brilliant surgeon with a
history of violence and drug abuse -- is arrested for a heinous
crime. Facing a seemingly insurmountable wall of evidence, he turns
to Portland's top criminal defense attorney, Frank Jaffe-who, along
with his ambitious daughter, Amanda, must put on an inspired
defense. Amanda's first taste of criminal defense work is as
intoxicating as it is chilling, but it raises moral questions she's
loath to address. Is she defending an innocent man? Or is she using
her considerable skills to set a monster free? Then Cardoni
disappears under bizarre circumstances. Four yearslater, a second
set of murders has begun ....
"8: 55: Subject exits house, naked and barefoot, armed with
kitchen knife. Remarkable strength of character. Breaking her will
be a challenge."
Has Cardoni resurfaced to ply his deadly trade anew? Is there a
copycat killer? Or has the real killer been someone else all along?
The police will do everything they can to stop Cardoni -- but they
have to find him first.
Following a twisting trail of clues, including a harrowing diary
that clinically records the killer's horrible deeds, Amanda Jaffe
and Bobby Vasquez join the hunt-and themselves become targets of
the twenty-first century's first genuinely monstrous
psychopath.:
