Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon thought they had finally earned peace. After years of secrets, loss, and danger, their wedding by the lake was supposed to be the beginning of something softer. A home. A marriage. A baby. A future neither of them ever thought they would get. But someone has been watching. At first, the signs are small. A flower left where it shouldn’t be. A photograph taken from too far away. A feeling that their most private moments are no longer private. Then the messages become personal, the threats sharper, and the truth impossible to ignore: someone is obsessed with Patrick Jane, and she sees Lisbon as the only thing standing in her way. As the FBI team races to uncover the woman hiding in the shadows, Jane and Lisbon are forced into the most dangerous case of their lives — one that threatens not only their safety, but the family they are trying to protect. Because this time, Jane is not hunting a ghost from his past. This time, the target is his future.
