A serial killer targets a relationship columnist in this mesmerizing tale of romantic suspense from New York Times bestselling–author Meryl Sawyer   Dubbed the "Final Call Killer" because he strangles his victims with a telephone cord, Troy Avery is waiting for his next victim to come along. He's angry, vengeful, and unstoppable.   Known as the "Love Doctor," Jessica Crawford is the San Francisco Herald's popular relationship expert. Ironic, since her own love life is practically nonexistent, with the exception of a recent fling with an Adonis-like extreme surfer in Hawaii. Jessica has her own ideas about what drives the Final Call Killer to brutally strangle successful women and profiles him in her column.   Hired by the Herald to cover the murders, investigative reporter Cole Rawlings isn't broadcasting his Kauai tryst with Jessica, but he's also not hiding his hard feelings toward her for the way she deceived him at his brother's surfing resort. Still, with Jessica provoking a psychopath whose rage is growing, Cole believes she'll be the next victim—unless he gets close enough to her to protect her night and day.
