Detective Archie Sheridan just has to get through the next
few days, then his birthday and Halloween will be
over. But with escaped serial killer Gretchen Lowell on
the loose, the investigation into the murder of a DEA agent
demanding his attention, and journalist Susan Ward showing
up at his apartment needing a favor, it’s going to be a long
weekend.
Soon Archie finds himself crashing a masked
ball on a private island owned by Jack Reynolds, a notorious
local drug kingpin. By morning, Archie is back on pain
killers, a guest is dead and Archie quickly realizes that
little is what it seems. One thing is clear: Gretchen is
back, and Archie’s nemesis and sometimes lover has something
special in mind for the birthday boy, something she’s been
planning for a long, long time. On Halloween Eve, with time
running out, and the life of someone close to Archie on the
line, Archie knows his only chance is to give Gretchen
exactly what she wants. But Gretchen will prove more
horrifying, and unpredictable, than Archie could ever
imagine.
Back with her most thrilling novel yet,
Chelsea Cain delivers the pinnacle of what fans of this
series have come to expect: sex, murder, twists, dark wit,
and some of the best characters in the genre.
