A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

What if the man you'd loved for years transformed into a ruthless and relentless tormentor, stealing your freedom, threatening your sanity and your safety?

This is not a fictional scenario. It is Kate Brennan's life.

A well-respected writer and scholar, Kate was wary of getting involved when she met Paul, a wealthy, charismatic businessman with a great deal of free time, but his charm and determination eventually won her over. Once they moved in together, however, Kate discovered the sordid secrets lurking beneath the Mr. Right facade: the serial infidelities, the unbalanced psyche. When she ended their relationship, Paul dedicated himself to stalking her—using his limitless resources to track her movements, interfering with her work, arranging for people to break into her home—in a campaign of cruel harassment that has been Kate's unending nightmare for more than a decade . . . and which continues to this day.

A shocking and visceral memoir that lays bare the twisted mind of a stalker, In His Sights is a gripping tale of one woman's descent into the dark side of love and her ongoing struggle to free herself.

Revue de presse :

“A remarkable and very powerful story . . . [Brennan] conveys her own fear and mounting sense of physical discomfort so well that we feel it, too.” (Booklist (starred review))

“This is a chilling book. Brennan has magnificently described the obsession and the narcissism of the stalker and the horror of being stalked.” (Helen Fisher, Author of WHY WE LOVE and THE ANATOMY OF LOVE)

“This haunting book will flicker through your mind as you close the blinds at night and check the locks. It will make you glance back down the aisle in the grocery, and check your rearview mirror.” (Janine Latus, Author of IF I AM MISSING OR DEAD)

“Kate Brennan...writes so sharply of her ongoing, heart-wrenching hounding it feels as if she’s using a knife to tell her story. I couldn’t put this book down.” (Mary-Ann Tirone Smith, Author of GIRLS OF TENDER AGE: A Memoir)

“Kate Brennan knows the torment, tedium, and intermittent terror of being stalked. IN HIS SIGHTS captures it all.” (J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D., Forensic Psychologist and Author of VIOLENT ATTACHMENTS)
