When Dr. Susan Chandler decides to use her daily radio talk show to explore the phenomenon of women who disappear and are later found to have become victims of killers who prey on the lonely and insecure, she has no idea that she is exposing herself—and those closest to her—to the very terror that she hopes to warn others against.
Susan sets out to determine who is responsible for an attempt on the life of a woman who called in to the show offering information on the mysterious disappearance from a cruise ship, years before, of Regina Clausen, a wealthy investment advisor. Soon Susan finds herself in a race against time, for not only does the killer stalk these lonely women, but he seems intent on eliminating anyone who can possibly further Susan's investigation.
As her search intensifies, Susan finds herself confronted with the realization that one of the men who have become important figures in her life might be the killer. And as she gets closer to uncovering his identity, she realizes almost too late that the hunter has become the hunted. Is she the next one marked for murder?

December 2, 1997
A talk show host's curiosity about a missing woman leads to murder. -
April 1, 1998
Susan Chandler, district attorney turned psychologist, is host of the popular radio show "Dr. Susan." One of her more interesting guests is a psychiatrist who has written extensively about women who have disappeared. Susan finds the topic fascinating, especially the case of Regina Clausen, a highly respected financial advisor who has been missing for several years. Things grow even more intriguing when Susan gets an on-air call from a woman who had encounters similar to Regina's--she was courted on a cruise ship by a handsome man who gave her a ring with the inscription, "You belong to me." On the way to a meeting with Susan, the woman is gravely injured. Coincidence? Susan thinks not. Her prosecutor's instincts kick in, and she begins an investigation that involves a host of suspects, including the trustee of Regina's family's estate, the jealous husband of the mystery caller, and even the psychiatrist-guest himself. What unfolds is a riveting tale of one woman's quest for the truth. Clark is a smart, entertaining storyteller, and although this novel is not her finest, her fans will request it in droves.
