Klappentext In the final volume of Brennan's trilogy that includes "Speak No Evil" and "See No Evil!" renegade FBI agent Kate Donovan joins forensic psychiatrist Dillon Kincaid to find a serial killer who is murdering women live on the Internet. Original. One Lucy’s graduation ceremony was being held outside on the high school’s football field. On the cusp of adulthood, nine hundred eighteen-year-olds sat surprisingly still on the risers framing each side of the temporary stage. Dillon Kincaid shielded his eyes against San Diego’s morning sun, scanning the crowd for his family. He was late because of a last-minute psychiatric assessment of a prisoner who was being arraigned that afternoon. The principal called the next graduate. “Monica Julian.” A tall, lithe blond walked up the steps to the platform and accepted her certificate. Good. He hadn’t missed Lucy receiving her diploma. He’d keep an eye on the audience for the largest burst of applause, and that would be where the Kincaid clan had saved him a seat. The principal went through fifteen more names before announcing, “Lucia Kincaid.” Dillon smiled, anticipating his beautiful dark-haired baby sister walking up the stairs. She’d worked hard for her grades, and her acceptance to their father’ s alma mater of Georgetown was icing on the cake. He heard a loud raucous cheer in the middle of the right seating section, saw the tallest Kincaid, Connor, standing and hooting. Circling the field and making his way to where his family cheered, Dillon watched the stage for his sister. “Lucia Kincaid?” The principal repeated her name and Dillon stopped to scan the graduates. Where was Lucy? He reached the edge of his family’s row of seats as Carina emerged.   “Robert P. Kinney.” The principal went on to the next graduate.   “I’m going to look for Lucy,” Carina told Dillon when she spotted him. Her fiancé, Nick Thomas, was right behind her.   Dillon fell into step next to Nick while Carina made a beeline for the nearest girls’ restroom. She’d graduated from the same high school fourteen years before and knew the campus well. Wearing graduation robes, two girls came out, adjusting their hats. Carina asked, “Is Lucy Kincaid in there?”   “I don’t think so,” one responded.   Carina brushed past her and went into the girls’ room, calling Lucy’s name. “She’s not there,” she stated tersely when she came out.   “Is there another bathroom?” Nick asked.   “Way over on the other side of the field.”   “Let’s check it out.”   They crossed the field behind all the proud families.   “I can’t believe she ditched her own graduation!” Carina sounded both worried and angry.   “You don’t know that she did,” Dillon said. “There’s a logical explanation. Lucy could be sick.”   “And she didn’t come and tell us?” Carina frowned, picked up her pace. “No one’s seen her since eight o’clock this morning. She went to Becky’s house to get ready, saying she’d meet us here.”   “Carina,” Dillon said, “stop being a cop for a minute. Don’t assume the worst.”   “I can’t help it.”   Dillon had the same fears as his sister. Both siblings worked with violent predators every day—Carina as a homicide detective catching killers, Dillon as a forensic psychiatrist trying to understand them. The two had been sent down ...
