About this ebook
A killer with a passion for the past.
His victims tortured beyond endurance.
And all done in the name of a game.
DIE FOR ME is the chilling first novel in the Philadelphia/Atlanta series, by bestselling author Karen Rose.
'Delivers the kind of high-wire suspense that keeps you riveted to the edge of your seat' LISA GARDNER
'Page-turning' SUNDAY EXPRESS
_________
You fear me. Now... die for me.
A multimedia designer is hard at work. His latest computer game, Inquisitor, heralds a new era in state-of-the-art graphics. But there's only one way to ensure that the death scenes are realistic enough...
In an isolated field in Philapelphia, Detective Ciccotelli's day begins with one grave, one body and no murder weapon. It ends with sixteen graves, but only nine bodies and the realisation that the killer is going to strike again.
When it's discovered that the murder weapons are similar to those used in medieval torture, Ciccotelli, knowing he's going up against the most dangerous opponent of his career, enlists the help of archaeologist Sophie Johannsen to find the killer.
Let the games begin...

Praise for Karen Rose:
***** 'Die For Me is gripping and has a way of pulling you in and keeping you on the edge of your seat. As well as being a real pulse-pounding, suspenseful yet romantic story'
***** 'I've read lots of books before which I thought were gripping but none have captivated my imagination like this did. Start to finish I couldn't put it down... I love Karen Rose she's brilliant'
***** 'Right from the beginning you are gripped by this book. I loved the style of writing and enjoyed the book... I really liked the characters and you immediately fall in love with them... Gripping read'
***** 'I absolutely loved this first book of the three. Lots of surprises, a hint of romance and some grisly murder mystery. What more could you want'

Excellent read! Don't purchase this if you've got anything you need to do in the next few days. Great story, detail and just the right amount of character development and suspense. Brilliant!

About the author
Karen Rose was introduced to suspense and horror at the tender age of eight when she accidentally read Poe's The Pit and The Pendulum and was afraid to go to sleep for years. She now enjoys writing books that make other people afraid to go to sleep. Karen lives in Florida with her family, their cat, Bella, and two dogs, Loki and Freya. When she's not writing, she enjoys reading, and her new hobby - knitting.
