About this ebook

"This is top-notch suspense, right from the chilling prologue to the brutal conclusion."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

New York City is in the grip of a nightmare. A twisted serial killer called the Lover is stalking young women, leaving his calling card with their dead bodies—a single rose. But that's not the worst part.

There's a copy-cat out there too, determined to do his idol one better. But the Lover isn’t flattered. He's furious that some rank amateur is muddying his good name. As the nightmare grows ever more intense, one detective begins to suspect the truth. And as his superiors close ranks on him, he realizes that his only ally may be . . . the Lover himself.

“Randisi keeps getting better. This one's a pip—lean, tough-minded, and right on target.”—Lawrence Block, Author of Eight Million Ways to Die 

"Tough, gritty and grippingly realistic. This one hits hard!"—John Lutz, Author of Single White Female

"Entertaining, well-written." —Booklist

One of the best crime dramas I have ever read, that wasn't a real crime story.
