About this listen
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Fear the Dark by Chris Mooney, read by Patricia Rodriguez and Nick Landrum.
Fear grips a town in Colorado as a murderer targets entire families in their own homes. As police and the FBI struggle to contain the situation, they bring in forensic investigator and serial killer expert Darby McCormick. What she finds is a brutal and elusive predator who stays one step ahead of their investigation.
As Darby navigates the blood ties and broken promises that divide the locals, she knows all the while the killer is watching, circling his next target: her. She must not only meet evil and survive but also be prepared to face this small town's dark heart.

When the badly decomposed body of 13-year-old Katie Pine is found, John Cardinal is vindicated. It was Cardinal who'd kept the Pine case open and Cardinal had been demoted to the burglary squad for his excessive zeal. But Katie Pine isn't the only youngster to have gone missing and Cardinal is now given the go-ahead to reopen the files on three other lost kids. When another youth is reported missing, he begins to see a pattern that screams "serial killer."

The Dead Eyes killer lurks in the backyard of the FBI's famed Behavioral Analysis Unit. His brutal murders, unlike any others previously encountered, confound the local task force, despite the gifted skills of Special Agent Karen Vail, the first female ever promoted to the profiling unit.

Together, they must track down a psychopathic killer who's been abducting beautiful young women from the malls of Orange County.
