A standalone thriller about a respectable doctor named Marcus Valentine who becomes obsessed with a woman he sees jogging one morning; believing her to be the spitting image of a girl he was infatuated with as a teenager, Marcus's obsession quickly spirals out of control. His pursuit of her leads to a series of events that threaten to destroy his seemingly perfect life and that of those around him.  The novel starts off a bit slow but moves into the most extreme singular literary example of a sociopath removing one obsticle after the other in his pursuit of his "true love".  James expertly crafted Valentine's personality to match his sociopathic nature.  A bit of a dark novel but such a page turner.
