In those five years, three women connected with his case have moved on. His attorney has rid herself of the stigma of defending Gage. A true crime writer has gone on to new projects after her bestseller about his rampage. And Stevens ex-girlfriend has made a new life for herself - one where she wont be reminded that she once shared her home with a monster. But someone hasnt moved on. On the fifth anniversary of Gages execution, each of the women gets a private note... a chilling message that lets all three women know they havent been forgotten, and that in someones dark imagination Gages legacy of terror lives on. At the time of his sentencing, Gage issued a terrifying edict that all three women hoped was meaningless. As threats against them turn deadly, the past explodes into the present. And one woman is in the fight of her life to uncover who is really responsible - a killer who is determined to start up the string of murders right where they stopped. THE ANNIVERSARY is another smart, razor-sharp thriller from a writer whose work has been hailed as ""addictive"" (People), ""marvelous"" (Jeffery Deaver) and ""keep[ing] us guessing until the very end"" (Redbook).
