The Boyfriend
Sydney Shaw knows the dating scene in New York all too well — the liars, the freeloaders, the mama’s boys. After a string of disastrous relationships, she’s ready to give up on finding something real. Then she meets him. Charming. Handsome. A successful doctor at a prestigious hospital. He seems perfect — the kind of man women dream about. For the first time, Sydney feels certain she’s found the one. But when a young woman is brutally murdered — the latest victim in a chilling string of killings — the city is gripped with fear. The suspect? An unidentified man who dates his victims before they die. Sydney tells herself she’s safe. After all, she’s dating the man of her dreams. Yet small inconsistencies begin to surface. Strange moments. Unsettling glances. The creeping feeling that someone is always watching. Because perfection can be a mask. And if Sydney doesn’t uncover the truth in time, she may be the next woman who falls for a killer.
