A riveting suspense thriller about the reuniting of birth mothers with their adopted children and the madman who preys on them.

After two highly praised psychological thrillers, Mark Nykanen returns with his most spellbinding story yet. Suzanne Trayle is a "Search Angel" whose success in tracking down and reuniting birth mothers with their adopted children has earned her national fame. Known as "The Orphan's Private Eye," Suzanne has reunited thousands of mothers with their children, but has failed to find the son she put up for adoption thirty years ago.

A serial killer dubbing himself "The Searcher" contacts Suzanne, claiming to have located her now-grown child. In a chilling twist, The Searcher systematically begins to murder Suzanne's clients, and vows to kill her son and his family -- including Suzanne's only grandchild -- if she tries to stop him. Caught between her fears for her son and her desire to protect her birth mothers, Suzanne lays a harrowing trap to try and lure The Searcher her way. Ingeniously plotted and nightmarishly realistic, Search Angel is a fearsome tale steeped in love, hate, and the unbridled terror that can link them both.
