XO: a Kathryn Dance novel
by Jeffery Deaver
COUNTRY-POP INGÉNUE Kayleigh Towne’s career is just reaching new
heights with her huge hit single “Your Shadow”—but increased fame is
also bringing unwanted attention. An innocent exchange with one of her
fans, signed with an “XO,” leads Kayleigh into the dangerous and
terrifying realm of obsession. Edwin Sharp thinks Kayleigh’s songs
contain messages that speak directly to him. Despite her clear rejection
and threats from lawyers and law enforcers, he remains convinced that
“Your Shadow” was written just for him, and he announces he’s coming for
Kayleigh. Then a potentially fatal accident occurs at the concert hall
where Kayleigh is rehearsing for a triumphant hometown performance, and
she is convinced that someone—maybe Edwin—was there watching her from
the darkness. True to his word, Edwin Sharp soon makes an ominous
appearance in town, and California Bureau of Investigation Agent
Kathryn Dance, a friend and fan of Kayleigh’s on vacation in Fresno to
attend the show, intervenes on her behalf, drawing Sharp’s frightening
attention to herself. That night a member of the road crew whom Kayleigh
had once dated is murdered in an eerie echo of an image from her
chart-topping song. As more deaths loom on the horizon, Kathryn Dance
must use her considerable skills at investigation and body-language
analysis to stop the stalker and save more innocent victims. But before
long she learns that, like many celebrities, Kayleigh has more than one
fan with a mission . . .
