Retired detective Bill Hodges is drawn back into a mass murderer’s orbit, while computer technician Lou Linklatter works alongside a man whose secrets make her ordinary workplace increasingly dangerous. Lou’s experience as an openly lesbian person in a hostile environment gives her story a specific queer perspective. Her importance grows as the thriller follows the consequences of violence and the struggle to regain control over her life. The sapphic eligibility rests on this sustained character journey, not on an invented romantic pairing.
