Fear Itself

by Jonathan Nasaw

Fear Itself Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From Jonathan Nasaw, whose heart-stopping debut was hailed as "a superior thriller" (The Washington Post) and "wickedly compelling" (The Oregonian), comes a new novel that takes readers into the depths of...

Fear Itself.

Is it possible to be scared to death? FBI Special Agent E. L. Pender thinks so — when a man afraid of heights falls nineteen stories to his death and a woman terrified of blood is found with her wrists slashed. Could it be that the apparent suicides are actually the work of a twisted psychopath?

To stop him, Pender joins forces with Investigative Specialist Linda Abruzzi, and before long they find themselves facing their own worst terrors — and a madman who is as immune to fear as he is fascinated by it.

Review:

"Nasaw goes a bit over the top in spinning out the flaws and foibles of his serial killer....But the murder scenes are entertaining in a sly, cheeky fashion, and the crackling dialogue between Pender and Abruzzi gives extra life to the chase scenes." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"Jonathan Naswaw has managed to pare down the root of psychological suspense to its essence." Rocky Mountain News

Disturbingly riveting. An amazing insight into the mind of a psychopath. I don't normally read violent books, but Nasaw's ability to 'fade to black' kept me turning pages and looking for more of his works.
