Product Description
In cyberspace, no one can hear you scream.

Instead of preparing for her high school graduation, Lucy Kincaid is facing a vicious execution. Lured by an online predator, she’s destined to die horribly–live on the Internet–while hundreds of heartless viewers watch and vote on the method of her slaughter. Her family’s only hope rests with Kate Donovan, an FBI agent who took on the same sadistic killer once before . . . and lost. Blamed for another girl’s gruesome murder, Kate’s been fighting to clear her name. But she agrees to join the hunt for Lucy–and reluctantly steps back into her worst nightmare.

With time running out before the bloody webcast airs, Kate teams up with forensic psychiatrist Dillon Kincaid to get inside the head of her twisted quarry, zero in on his chamber of horrors, and reach Lucy before grim history repeats itself and another innocent’s brutal death goes hideously live.

Face the fear. Speak its name. See its face.

5.0 out of 5 stars Allison Brennan steps up to the plate, March 28, 2007

By	Elaine C McTyer "avid reader" (Dawson, GA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

With the final novel in the series, however I sincerely hope she will give us the stories of the other three Kincaids, Jack, a mercenary, Patrick, a computer genius, and Lucy, the youngest who is center stage in FEAR NO EVIL. There is also the undercover agent, Mick, I would love to know his story. As you can tell there are alot of intersting secondary characters in this novel.

Kate Donovan is a renegade FBI agent. For five years she has hunted the man who murdered her partner, Paige Henshaw, on a live internet telecast. Betrayed by the bureau when they were left without backup. Her boyfriend and her best friend both died. Trask, the mastermind behind the telecast of the rape and murder has been on the run. But he has not forgotten the woman who has thwarted him. His hatred for women has put her at the top of his list of most wanted victims.

Dillion Kincaid is a forensic physchiatrist. He has dealt with the darkness of many sociopaths. But this one has made it personal. Dillion and his family of cops and agents have 48 hours to find and save their sister, Lucy. She has been kidnapped and taken to an unknown location where she is raped and brutalized for the preverted animals willing to pay to watch.

This is a dark thriller with sense of urgency, I was not able to put it down. The menace of Trask and his genius is very evident. The horror of the things Lucy faces is brutal. I very much enjoyed the book and I hope we do get the story of all the wonderful characters in the book. If you read the others in the series SPEAK NO EVIL, and SEE NO EVIL you will recognize the characters from those books here.

If you like a dark, violent, thriller this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the trilogy, April 5, 2007

By	Janet (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This was my favorite of the Evil trilogy because the reader got to know all the Kincaids in books 1 and 2 and they played prominent parts in book 3. We even got to meet and love the mysterious Jack Kincaid. Making Lucy, a character readers came to know and like, the victim of the vicious villain upped the suspense and scare level.

This was an edge of your seat, can't put down thriller with an intelligent and romantic love story thrown into the mix.

Warning - this isn't for the faint of heart. Some, many, scenes are brutal, violent, and very frank. It was scary, but a very enjoyable read. Allison Brennan is one of the best romantic suspense authors I have read and I can't wait for her next trilogy.

Now I can catch up on the sleep I missed while I couldn't put Fear No Evil down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Hit for Allison Brennan!, May 27, 2007

By	Susan Calvin "So many books, so little time!" (Alabama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The third installment in the Evil Trilogy did not disappoint. We were first introduced to members of the Kincaid family in books one and two, Speak No Evil and See No Evil. This book brings them all together after their little sister Lucy is kidnapped by a sadistic predator. These book are not for the faint at heart, there is explicit violence and sex. But they are contemporary and bring in to play the potential threats of the Internet as a social playground. This book also introduces another Kincaid brother, Jack, who needs a book all to himself! I hope this author continues with the exploits of the Kincaid family.
