Colleen McCullough, who crafts "fiction at its best"
(Time), triumphs with a searing murder mystery packed
with heart pounding twists inside the world of science.
All the victims were pretty girls.
When the remains
of a young woman are found at a Connecticut neurological
institute, Lieutenant Carmine Delmonico is called to
investigate. It is only the first of a serial killer's
grisly crimes, however, and Delmonico is plunged into his
most perplexing and terrifying case.
All the victims looked alike.
A frightening pattern
emerges as the violence escalates, and Delmonico senses the
killer is among the institute's staff of scientists and
doctors. Infiltrating their ranks, he gets closer to manager
Desdemona Dupre, who can help him uncover the secrets,
politics, and backstabbing ambitions harbored there.
All is not what it seems.
But this audacious
killer's game has only just begun -- a game poised to
unravel everything Delmonico believes, and pull the
detective who's seen it all into a shocking face-off with a
staggering revelation at its core.
