Emma Spire is the daughter of the assassinated Surgeon
General of the United States. She has been on the cover of
every national magazine. Her beauty, her brains, her
bravery - all are public property. She is fair game for
celebrity sharks the country over. Everyone wants a piece
of her - and she must escape the feeding frenzy at all
costs. But she cannot, and the consequences are deadly.
Thus the stage is set for Dr. Alan Gregory's most
stunning, brainteasing crisis yet. The Colorado-based
psychologist-sleuth must solve a case of twisted desire
and terror to save not only a golden girl pursued by the
furies of fame but also his wife, Boulder County D.A.
Lauren Crowder, imprisoned on suspicion of murder. For it
was Lauren who took Emma under her wing, and it was Lauren
who pulled the trigger on the mysterious stalker who
menaced Emma's safety and sanity. Complicating the case is
a six-foot-eight defense attorney with a razor tongue and
the extraordinary ex-wife he employs as a private
investigator; a take-charge man out of Emma's past, whom
she trusts perhaps not too wisely; and the biotech genius
tycoon, who has used Emma in a way she cannot forget or
forgive. Step by step, amid accelerating acts of terror,
Alan Gregory suspects he may be dealing not with a sick
mind fixated on a fantasy of female perfection but with
deadly greed fueled by a high-tech prize that may be worth
billions. Meanwhile, his investigation is turned into a
desperate race against time as a medical emergency
threatens to turn his wife's incarceration into a death
sentence.
