In this tense, powerful novel, murder-suspect Slade turns his attention to teenage Kathy, the shy, stunning daughter of family man Jack Baird. Slade begins following Kathy home from work, taunting her with obscene come-ons and threats of barbaric sexual violence. Strongly protective of his daughter, Baird seeks help from the police, and for his trouble gets only a restraining order - which Slade totally ignores.
