From Publishers Weekly
Neiderman's (Tender Loving Care) latest is the literary equivalent of a straight-to-video film with a murderer hell-bent on ridiculous schemes and crafty, handsome FBI agents dithering around with all-too-obvious clues. Dirk Stoner kills his wife, Farah Ross, and is sentenced to die by lethal injection. However, thanks to his wealthy father, Philip Stoner, an elaborate plan is hatched involving prison personnel, cosmetic surgeons and language instructors to fake Dirk's death and turn him into Jonathan Lewis. Eventually, Dirk/Jonathan escapes from his handlers and heads off to get Elaine, Farah's sister, for reasons that are never satisfactorily explained. As well, the novel is plagued by awkward dialogue ("I'm afraid the screwdriver Dirk drove into Farah went through her and into your father's heart as well") and flat characterization.

Product Description
Dead Man Stalking

Shy and reclusive medical student Elaine Ross is warned she might have trouble dating after her only sister is brutally murdered by her brother-in-law, Dirk Stoner. Dirk, a handsome golf pro and the son of a billionaire developer, was convicted and executed amid a media frenzy that rivaled the O.J. Simpson trial. So when Elaine is coerced out to a nightclub and is unsettled by the advances of Jonathan Lewis -- a man whose mannerisms and gestures eerily remind her of Dirk -- she refuses to succumb to her paranoid fears.

But Elaine can't conceive of the twisted trail of bribes, blackmail, and murder that Dirk's billionaire father wove in an attempt to save his only son. She isn't aware that an FBI investigation linking the deaths of Dirk's prison doctor and a plastic surgeon has been inexplicably dropped. And Elaine has no way of knowing that the face in her nightmares is carrying a very real torch...for revenge.
