Now Ryan is a sportscaster on a local Boston radio station while trying to put his life together and raise his six year old daughter. Prosecution attorney Emma Carlisle contacts him about an anonymous note sent to her on the third anniversary of Chelsea's death. The note claims that the driver had intended to kill Chelsea and the writer claims to know who did it. Ryan suspects that his brother-in-law, Babes, who suffers from Aspergers Syndrome might know something. Suddenly Babes goes missing after calling the station claiming he was the one who killed his sister.

The police, Ryan and Emma are all searching for Babes believing that he is really in danger from the real killer who will stop at nothing to preserve his reputation. It is a race against time whether the killer will find him first.

Intent to Kill is an excellent mystery with lots of suspense. The action is fast; the dialogue crisp. The insight into the problems of one suffering from Aspergers Syndrome is excellent. There are many twists and turns and red herrings to confuse the reader until the final confrontation.
