Intensidad

Chyna despertó sobresaltada, a tiempo de ver entrar en su habitación a un hombre con un cuchillo ensangrentado... Chyna fue la única superviviente de aquella horrenda carnicería. Toda la familia de su amiga Laura acababa de morir a manos de un misterioso maníaco. ¿O quizá Laura se había salvado? Sí, en efecto, aún conservaba un hálito de vida, pero el asesino la tenía a su merced. Huye, Chyna, se ordenó a sí misma, pero, contra todo sentido común, decidió impulsivamente salvar a su amiga. Aunque para eso tuviese que seguir al criminal a la inexpugnable casa donde retenía a sus víctimas para martirizarlas salvajemente... Version : 1.0 Past midnight, Chyna Shepherd, twenty-six, gazed out a moonlit window, unable to sleep on her first night in the Napa Valley home of her best friend’s family. Instinct proves reliable. A murderous sociopath, Edgler Forman Vess, has entered the house, intent on killing everyone inside. A self-proclaimed “homicidal adventurer,” Vess lives only to satisfy all appetites as they arise, to immerse himself in sensation, to live without fear, remorse or limits, to live with intensity. Chyna is trapped in his deadly orbit. Chyna is a survivor, toughened by a lifelong struggle for safety and self-respect. Now she will be tested as never before. At first her sole aim is to get out alive-until, by chance, she learns the identity of Vess’s next intended victim, a faraway innocent only she can save. Driven by a newly discovered thirst for meaning beyond mere self-preservation, Chyna musters every inner resource she has to save an endangered girl—as moment by moment, the terrifying threat of Edgler Foreman Vess intensifies. Stalked by a "homicidal adventurer" Chyna Shepherd uses her courage and daring to help herself as well as his next intended victim.
