"Panic Attack is the ultimate page turner -- a thriller that brilliantly blends psychological and physical suspense. It's rare that you get either one in a book, but Jason Starr delivers them both in spades."

Michael Connelly , New York Times bestselling author of The Brass Verdict

 

"Fast-moving, psychologically astute, and 100 percent chilling."

Andrew Gross , New York Times bestselling author of The Dark Tide

 

"Panic Attack is that rare thing -- a novel that manages to be both flat-out terrifying and completely brilliant. Jason Starr's prose is as taut, vicious, relentless and elegant as a jewelled hand tightening around your throat. Even as it has you gasping, you can't help but appreciate the grip. If there is such a thing as the perfect thriller, Starr has just written it. The ending alone will have you breathing in paper bags for a week."

Jerry Stahl, bestselling author of Permanent Midnight and Pain Killers

An intruder, a desperate struggle, a family under seige. Panic Attack 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." From that moment on, nothing in the Blooms’ life will ever be the same.

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 ever deeper 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 page-turner that will blow readers away.

“Jason Starr’s got a hip style and an ear for crackling dialogue…characters so real we feel we know them.” – Jeffery Deaver
