Vito Ciccotelli sees a lot of death as a Philadelphia
homicide detective. However, he's not ready for the latest,
a serial killer who has carefully dug numerous graves,
filling them with the bodies of people he has horrifically
tortured. Vito's crew calls in Sophie Johanson, a local
archaeologist, to map out the large area before they start
to dig for more victims. Sophie, an expert in medieval
weaponry, is able to explain the medieval references the
killer has used in both the killing of his victims and in
their burial. Sophie wasn't supposed to see the bodies.
However, once she does, not only is she a valuable asset to
the police, she's also in immediate danger from the killer
who plans to make her one of his next victims.
Vito has grieved for two years over the death of the woman
he loved. Until he meets Sophie, he hasn't even entertained
the thought of moving on. Not only is Sophie beautiful, she
also has a tenderness and allure that quickly touches Vito.
As he grows more in love with her, his desire to keep her
safe costs becomes imperative.
Sophie has made a few mistakes in the past; enough to make
her more than cautious when it comes to men. She's
immediately attracted to Vito, and once she gets past
misunderstandings, Sophie is ready to try her hand at a
relationship, if the killer doesn't succeed first at
claiming her for his own.
Karen Rose writes stories that give me chills. Her
characters are sharp and remarkable; the delivery promises
excitement and suspense. DIE FOR ME is another fine example
of Rose's skills.
The first victim is found in a
snow-covered Philadelphia field.
Detective Vito Ciccotelli enlists the aid of archaeologist
Sophie Johannsen to determine exactly what lies beneath
the frozen ground. Despite years of unearthing things long
buried, nothing can prepare Sophie for the matrix of
graves dug with chilling precision. The victims buried
there haunt her. But the empty graves terrify her-the
killer isn't done yet.
SCREAM FOR ME
He is cold and calculating, the master of a twisted
game. Even with Vito and Sophie hot on his trail, he will
not stop. One more empty grave must be filled, and one
last scream must be heard-the scream of an archaeologist
who is too close for comfort and too near to resist...
