Narrado por: Isabelle Gordon

A psychopathic female fugitive provokes a mother's vengeance in this terrifying thriller by the New York Times best-selling author of Gone South and Boy's Life.

Back in the 1960s, Mary Terrell shot and killed a man. A former member of the fanatical Storm Front Brigade - a splinter group of the notorious Weathermen - Terrell has stayed one step ahead of the FBI for decades. Living with numerous identities and menial jobs, Terrell's only constants in life have been LSD, psychotic delusions of motherhood, and murderous rage.

The '60s are long gone, but Mary is still out there. Now, provoked by a message she reads in Rolling Stone, she's convinced that the surviving leader of her old band of radicals wants to build a life with her. So one night, Mary sneaks into the maternity ward of an Atlanta hospital.

Laura Clayborne has a successful career and now a newborn baby. She's the type of person who is sensitive to suffering and injustice. But the kidnapping of her infant son has brought out a white-hot fury. She's not going to sit and wait while the FBI investigates. She's going after Mary herself - headlong and relentless - on a twisting and violent cross-country pursuit to get her child back. But to track a madwoman, Laura will have to think like one....

A Bram Stoker Award winner, this "expertly constructed novel of suspense and horror" (Publishers Weekly) from the author of Swan Song, Speaks the Nightbird, and other acclaimed works is "feverishly exciting...a page-whipping thriller" (Kirkus Reviews).

Love this book

I read this book many times throughout my teen years, just got back to it and the audiobook didn't disappoint

great read

flow of the story, loved the heroine, and the settings. left me wishing the book was longer

Started this book when I was younger...

This book scarred me when I was younger. It obviously caught my attention with the opening pages. I was always eager to find and finish it.

but now that I'm older, I can see it was basically a quick fix type of book. it has its gore, action, and simple premise. but it lacks everything in between.

it was quick and to the point details but nothing more. the character arcs could have been better, but it was what it was.

I dont buy Laura's super human endurance and shooting skills.

if your looking for an ENTERTAINING book. listen to this.

Almost 5 stars!

So close lol. But the narrator’s male voice just wasn’t cutting it. Not that she was bad because she was pretty good, but for me that was my only issue. Good story actually really good just predictable you saw the nests steps coming. But it was still good, I truly enjoyed it and will listen again. Nice change from only listening to King(he’s the reason I started audible).

tells the story well

this book is well written and the topics It brushes against our well researched I feel, but the story felt very obvious to me. I felt like there was a lot of build up that didn't get paid off in the first quarter of the book and much of the story felt like it was just going through the motions.

So good, so crazy, characters are so realistic

Robert McCammon is an amazing writer. He excels at storytelling; including the tiniest detail of emotion without interrupting the flow and pace of the narrative. In the case of this book, the pace is practically off the rails.

This book is so believable and the characters are so realistic, it makes me wonder if this book could be loosely based on a true story.

Consider for a moment a violent group of anti-establishment protesters In the late '60s, forcibly disbanded as a result of an FBI investigation and WACO-style standoff and explosion.

Now fast forward 30 years. Everyone's a little bit older and the ex-protesters a little bit wiser and more mature; normal members of society. Except one. That one person who, 30 years later, still believes in the mission, whose brain has been warped and corrupted by too many bad acid trips. She still believes that the leader of their group, from way back when, is the love of her life. She will do anything she can to get back to him and give him the gift that she thought she promised him many years before. The gift of a baby boy. A baby that does not belong to her. Baby that she has to steal.

It was a really great book and I absolutely enjoyed every sentence. McCammon is one of those authors who rarely has a word out of place.

Always heard he was good, but actually, he's great.

Great horror story with all human elements, which made it even scarier for me.

Mine.

I love Robert McCammon and had put this book off for awhile because I haven't found many female narrators I enjoy.
I was pleasantly surprised and the story, narration, and premise were all excellent.
I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys Mr. McCammon's books.

Great read

Fast paced - couldn’t put it down. Only negative was the fight scenes were too graphic and they went on and on.

RIVETING!

Super listen! A journey to Hell - thru it & out the other side. Filled with terror, horror & relentless.
The story & narration are
worthy of 5 stars +. I’m nowready to start another
novel by Robert McCammon. Only dilemma is which?
