"From the mountain views beyond the Strip to the dingy
dens of forbidden pleasure, Susan Pulaski loves Las Vegas.
A woman who wears a gun at her side and her heart on her
sleeve, Pulaski is the perfect fit for her city and for
her job: unraveling the minds of deviant personalities -
until a killer begins decorating Sin City with the
horribly disfigured bodies of once beautiful young
women...and Pulaski's own demons go on a binge." "Eight
months after her cop husband's death, Pulaski's life is
spinning out of control - just as her detective colleagues
start searching for a serial killer who methodically
stalks his female victims and plunges them into an orgy of
terror. When a violent incident earns Pulaski a pink slip
from the LVPD and a trip to detox, she's out of the hunt
altogether, and she begins desperately to try to regain
her job, her reputation, and custody of the niece she's
been raising on her own. It seems hopeless - until Pulaski
meets the one person who can lead her into the mind of a
madman: Darcy O'Bannon, a twenty-five-year-old autistic
savant whose relationship with the world around him is so
unusual that it forces Pulaski to view the crimes from a
bizarre - but ultimately insightful - perspective." White-
knuckling her way to the center of the case, Pulaski
becomes the key player in a desperate hunt for a killer
who believes he has found divine inspiration in the works
of Edgar Allan Poe. But even with the assistance of
Darcy's astonishing skills, Pulaski is in more danger that
she knows. For the man she seeks is watching her, seduced
by her frailties and strengths, her beauty and boldness.
To finish his masterwork of horror, he needs her
