And now she risks a far more dangerous fame as a cloud of conspiracy descends on her investigation and she edges towards Romeo's deadly line of sight ...Lena must catch this psychopath before she becomes his next glamorous victim...'Ellis's writing is a cut above that of most authors in the crowded serial-killer field' - "Sunday Times".
