"En dynamisk berättelse som griper tag i läsaren från första kapitlet och sedan inte släpper." –Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (om Borta) "Ett mästerverk till thriller och deckare! Författaren gjorde ett fantastiskt jobb med karaktärsutvecklingen, med så väl beskrivna psykologiska sidor att det känns som att man är inuti deras huvuden, lever sig in i deras rädslor och hoppas på deras framgång. Handlingen är väldigt intelligent och håller dig underhållen hela vägen. Boken är full av intrigvändningar och kommer att hålla dig vaken fram till allra sista sidan." –Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (om Borta) I utkanterna av Virginias landsbygd hittas kvinnor mördade på de mest groteska vis. FBI kallas in men står handfallna. En seriemördare finns där ute och hans brott blir allt mer frekventa. De vet att det bara finns en agent som är tillräckligt bra för att lösa det här fallet: Specialagent Riley Paige. Riley själv är på betald ledighet och återhämtar sig från sammandrabbningen med den senaste seriemördaren. Hon är skör och FBI är ovilliga att blanda in henne. Trots det väljer Riley, som tampas med sina egna demoner, att ta sig an fallet. Hennes jakt tar henne från den vrickade subkulturen av docksamlare, till trasiga familjers hem och in i de allra mörkaste av vrår i mördarens sinne. I takt med att mysteriet nystas upp inser Riley att hon har tagit sig an en mördare som är sjukare än vad hon hade kunnat ana. I en hektisk kamp mot klockan finner hon sig pressad till sitt yttersta. Hennes jobb står på spel, hennes familjs säkerhet är hotad och hennes bräckliga psyke är på gränsen till kollaps. Men när Riley tagit sig an ett fall så ger hon aldrig upp. Hon blir besatt av fallet och det leder henne till de mörkaste delarna av hennes psyke, där gränserna mellan att vara jägare eller byte suddas ut. Efter en rad av oväntade vändningar leder hennes instinkter henne till en chockerande upplösning som inte ens Riley själv någonsin hade kunnat föreställa sig. BORTA är en mörk psykologisk thriller med pulshöjande spänning, samt början på en fängslande ny bokserie och en älskvärd ny karaktär som kommer att få dig att vända sida efter sida långt in på småtimmarna.
