He watches.
A woman runs alone in the woods. She convinces herself she has no reason to be afraid, but she's wrong. A predator is stalking the women of Grant County. He lingers in the shadows, until the time is just right to snatch his victim.
He waits.
A decade later, the case has been closed. The killer is behind bars. But then another young woman is brutally attacked and left for dead, and the MO is identical.
He takes.
Although the original trail has gone cold - memories have faded, witnesses have disappeared - agent Will Trent and forensic pathologist Sara Linton must re-open the cold case. But the clock is ticking, and the killer is determined to find his perfect silent wife....

So, I was a massive fan of the author years ago and devoured her books. Then I read a book, the title of which escapes me, which dealt with two female paedophile's which made me very uncomfortable. The book upset me so much I didn't pick up another book by the author. Until now. Years have passed so I decided to give the author a second chance. I'm glad I did. The Silent Wife is amazing, just as good as I remember and expect from the author's books; intense, creepy at times as Sara and Will strive to finds the dots that connect a series of brutal murders and attacks on women spanning years and counties. The book alternates between the present will Sara looking at the cold case and the original investigation in the past. I need to read the books I missed to fill some of the gaps. I had no idea what was going on and who was targeting the women. I love it when an author is so good I'm left clueless. The Silent Wife helped me rediscover a once loved author.
