A year ago in Sydney, Australia, the Stiletto Killer
murdered Makedde Vanderwall's best friend. Australia's most
notorious serial killer then set his sights on Mak and
would have killed her too if not for the timely
intervention of Detective Andy Flynn.
Back home in Canada and enrolled in school to continue her
studies in forensic psychology, Mak feels she's been
successful in putting "the incident" behind her. Problem
is, she isn't sleeping well, and what little sleep she does
get is riddled with nightmares. Her father thinks she
should "talk to somebody." Mak just wants to forget
everything to do with her ordeal.
The last thing Andy Flynn wants to do is forget about
Makedde, and he couldn't if he tried. Their relationship
may have been complicated, and the timing more than wrong,
but she's beautiful, clever, irresistible, and he's fallen
for her hard. Andy's been studying serial killers at the
FBI academy in Quantico and has come to Vancouver for a
conference on psychopaths. When he and his mentor land in
Canada, they're asked by police to consult on a case.
Several girls have gone missing from the university and
their bodies were discovered in a nearby wooded area. Andy
tries to warn Mak about the disappearances, but she's
determined to avoid him -- and all the memories he inspires.
I've been anxiously awaiting this next installment in
Makedde's saga, and I was not disappointed. Dark and eerie,
I found it engrossing from first page to last. If you liked
Moss' FETISH, you will love SPLIT.
Mak is beautiful, street-smart and single, a model paying
her way through a degree in forensic psychology. She’s come
to Vancouver to finish her studies. But instead she walks
straight into a city gripped by fear of a killer, and a
campus where the students are the prey. As winter closes in
and the nights grow longer, Mak is drawn into a shifting
world of twisted minds, a world where no motive is clear
and no desire is held in check.
