New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards’ The Last Victim launches a new paranormal romantic thriller series about a woman with extraordinary powers held in the grip of her terrifying past….

Madmen and how they think have earned criminal pathologist Dr. Charlotte Stone a lauded reputation. But no one knows the real reason Charlie is obsessed with the criminal mind. When just sixteen she watched in horror as a serial killer butchered the family of her best friend, Holly, whose body was found on a seaside boardwalk one week later. Because of the information Charlie gave the police, the Boardwalk Killer went underground and the killings stopped, although the carnage left Charlie with eerie visions that haunt her to this day. Now, fifteen years later, FBI agent Tony Bartoli reports the family of a missing teenage girl has been slaughtered in a manner eerily reminiscent of the Boardwalk Killer. Is he back?

Bartoli, a man hard to resist in more ways than one, knows Charlie’s potent psychic gifts are of the utmost necessity even as he intuits her professional demeanor belies a world of hurt. And he’s right. For Dr. Charlotte Stone sees what others do not. And she sees death coming…for her.
