As one of New York's top sex therapists, Dr. Morgan Snow
sees everything from the abused to the depraved, from
couples grappling with sexual boredom to twisted sociopaths
with dark, erotic fetishes. And the Butterfield Institute
is the sanctuary where she helps soothe and heal these
battered souls.
Cleo Thane is one of those special patients Morgan connects
to immediately. A high-priced prostitute, Cleo is
remarkably sensitive and unscathed, a woman desperate to
reconcile her successful professional life with her
neglected personal one. And when she asks Morgan to read
her unpublished tell-all book about her exclusive
clientele, Morgan realizes that what she has in her hands
could be explosive.
Then Cleo disappears.
Detective Noah Jordan is trying to stay one step ahead of a
serial killer who has been targeting prostitutes, killing
them with ritualistic precision. When a missing person's
report is filed on Cleo Thane, Noah wonders if she, too,
has fallen prey to the psycho's wrath. He approaches Dr.
Morgan Snow for any insight on her patient, but Morgan
refuses to breach patient confidentiality. Instead she
begins her own investigation into Cleo's disappearance.
Certain that the answers lie in the manuscript that Cleo
has entrusted her with, Morgan delves into the private
confessions of a woman paid to act out the sexual fantasies
of some of the city's most powerful men. But she is shocked
by how much the intimate sexual details of another woman's
life affect her own. Too late she realizes she's ventured
into dangerous -- even deadly -- territory.
