Description
Detective Archie Sheridan spent a decade hunting serial killer Gretchen Lowell, only to become her captive—tortured for ten days before she inexplicably released him and turned herself in. Now, two years later, Archie is a broken man, addicted to painkillers and unable to escape the psychological grip of the woman locked away in prison, whom he visits obsessively under the guise of extracting confessions about her victims. When a new killer emerges on Portland's streets, snatching teenage girls, Archie must confront his demons and lead the investigation—a task complicated by an ambitious young reporter determined to expose the truth about both the detective and his dark obsession. As the case spirals into a deadly game involving Archie, the reporter, the new killer, and Gretchen herself, Archie faces an impossible choice: catch the killer and finally break free from his tormentor, or remain forever bound to the woman who destroyed him. A gripping psychological thriller that explores the twisted bonds between hunter and hunted, Heartsick announces Chelsea Cain as a major voice in crime fiction.
