An intruder, a desperate struggle, a family under siege: This is Jason
Starr's most provocative and suspenseful novel to date.
Dr. Adam Bloom has the perfect life. He's financially secure and lives
in a luxurious house with his wife, Dana, and their 22-year-old
daughter, Marissa, a recent college graduate. Late one night, his
daughter wakes him up and says, "Somebody's downstairs." Adam uses his
gun to kill one of the unarmed intruders, but the other escapes. From
that moment on, everyone's life in the Bloom household will never be the
same.
Adam doesn't feel safe, not with the other intruder out there somewhere,
knowing where he lives. Dana suggests moving, but Adam has lived in the
house all his life and he doesn't want to run away. As the family
recovers from the break-in and the Bloom's already rocky relationship
rapidly falls apart, Marissa meets a young, talented artist named Xan.
Adam feels that something's not quite right with Xan, but his daughter
ignores his warnings and falls deeply in love with him. When suspicious
things start happening to the Blooms all over again, Adam realizes that
his first instinct about Xan was probably dead on.
With Panic Attack, Jason Starr is at his best, crafting a harrowing
novel that will blow listeners away.
