The notes are signed Admirer. At first respectful, they become increasingly bizarre and are accompanied by roses, then other, more macabre offerings. Chris Calloway, a rising young Hollywood actress, finds the letters irritating, then frightening, but when a freak accident takes away her sight, Admirer turns her world into a nightmare.

Joe Larsen, the Beverly Hills Police Department's one-man stalker squad, begins his hunt for Admirer, helped by Chris's closest friend, Danny Devere. But the hunt works both ways, and soon Larsen is desperate to save Chris from Admirer and his own career from his inability to corner the stalker. The only answer is a trap, and Larsen knows the only bait is a blind and nearly helpless Chris. Their plight is made worse by his one big mistake.

      January 3, 1994
      ``The first letter arrived on a Monday.'' So begins the masterfully paced thriller from the author of Palindrome , Santa Fe Rules , etc. Young Hollywood actress Chris Callaway is poised at the brink of stardom when her world collapses. Shortly after she begins receiving disquieting letters signed ``Admirer,'' she is nearly blinded in a fall at the construction site of her new Malibu home. As Admirer becomes a menacing stalker, sending gifts and a gruesome photo and calling on the phone, Chris is stoutly guarded by her best friend and confidant, hairdresser Danny Devere. Also on duty is Beverly Hills police detective and stalker expert Jon Larsen. The Admirer soon targets the threesome in escalating attacks that become grisly and, then, murderous. Meanwhile, Larsen races to investigate the sinister suspects that emerge from the cadre of subcontractors on the Malibu construction team. Woods's style is lean and staccato, if unsubtle, and he's a pro at turning up the suspense, which is increased here as romance blooms between the cop and the rising star. 100,000 first printing; major ad/promo; author tour.

      Actress Chris Calloway has two problems--she's been recently blinded, and now she's being stalked by a clever psychotic. Ferrone's thorough interpretation of the three primary characters is excellent. He handles shifts between thought, dialogue and description flawlessly. Blind or partially sighted readers will especially appreciate the author's and narrator's way of dealing with the lead character's blindness. All listeners will enjoy an important scene that hinges upon the distraction caused by an audiobook in the story. Well crafted, well recorded and well suited for listening. D.R.T.
