Kay Hooper teased for ages about Bishop’s backstory. In Out of the Shadows, we finally meet his Miranda (is her name a play on the Miranda warning?), and she’s a character strong enough to hold her own against Bishop. I don’t want to give away any of the plot twists, so I can’t really talk about the events. Let’s just say there is a serial killer; that Bishop means trouble in Miranda’s past and in her future; that Miranda’s sister, Bonnie, is a fine additional character and her inclusion ups the tension. Even better, you don’t have to read the preceding Bishop books to understand this one. Just know that Bishop heads a psychic FBI team. Enjoy.

PS. I was going to add a cover image, but it doesn’t look so great on screen. Rather like the anthology On the Prowl where in the computer image you can’t see the paper copy’s glitter pawprints–which I love.
