Hero by Thomas Perry

 

This is a very good thriller novel, with an interesting predator/prey relationship between the main and her antagonist (who is enough her opposite number that he probably counts as a foil). Perry's got an ear for dialogue and a knack for kinda understated prose that lays bricks kinda subtly and turns into a solid structure. He has things to say here about police investigations and modern media--though he's mostly writing about television and print media, here, which are probably not the primary sources anymore for anyone who is not old. This plays, oddly, kinda like an inversion of The Burglar, though it's still very much a novel of pursuit.
