Evie Wilson was the victim of the villain in DON'T TELL, an assault which resulted in paralysis on one side of her face. After her injury, Evie retreated into the virtual realm, seeking refuge from the public eye by interacting with online friends. Now, with the help of a surgeon, Evie's face is restored and she is ready to return to the real world. However, she remains connected to the Internet for her graduate thesis on using the virtual world as therapy to improve self-esteem. She has become an online shopkeeper who sells faces and bodies to users interested in building a new avatar on a website called "Shadowland." In her new role, Evie maintains "surveillance" over her test subjects to ensure they don't become too caught up in the intoxicating virtual realm.

Meanwhile, homicide detective Noah Webster has been investigating a string of suspicious suicides that he believes are connected murders. Noah's investigation leads him to Evie when one of her online test subjects is found dead of apparent suicide, but Evie believes otherwise.

Evie is shocked to find herself drawn to someone for the first time in many years and she's reluctant to trust Noah. However, he's the only one who believes her story about the suspicious death of her test subject, and he soon discovers that many of the apparent suicides in his case had avatars in "Shadowland."

As murder victims connected to the website begin to appear more frequently, Noah asks Evie to be his virtual guide in the investigation. However, they don't realize that the killer is closer than they think-and that he holds a special grudge against Evie.

Una mujer se suicida una gélida noche en Chicago.

Sin embargo, cuando el detective Aidan Reagan entra en el apartamento de la víctima, todas las evidencias muestran que ha sido un homicidio y apuntan a una sola persona: la psiquiatra Tess Ciccotelli.

Tess no puede evitar que Aidan la juzgue culpable antes siquiera de escucharla. Pero ella no puede facilitarle la información que la exculparía. Alguien ha atrapado a Tess en una red de desconfianza, engaños y traiciones. Y el cerco sobre ella se estrecha cada vez más.

La enterraron con las manos unidas como si rezara…

Es enero, el suelo está helado y solo una casualidad ha permitido que el cuerpo haya sido descubierto. La policía de Filadelfia recurre entonces a Sophie Johannsen, una joven arqueóloga especialista en excavaciones medievales. Gracias a ella localizan el segundo cadáver: un joven con las manos a la altura del pecho, como si sostuviera una espada.

Ya tienen una dama y un caballero, dos asesinatos que imitan ritos funerarios medievales, y algo más cruel todavía: a su alrededor aguardan otras sepulturas, algunas ocupadas, otras vacías, esperando a las próximas víctimas… lo que el detective Vito Ciccotelli debe impedir a toda costa con la ayuda de Sophie.

Mientras, una empresa de videojuegos se prepara para el lanzamiento de su nuevo producto estrella: El inquisidor, un juego que lleva el horror y la oscuridad de la Edad Media hasta sus últimas consecuencias.

For her exciting debut in hardcover, New York Times bestselling author Karen Rose delivers a heart-stopping suspense novel that picks up where DIE FOR ME left off, with a detective determined to track down a brutal murderer.

Special Agent Daniel Vartanian has sworn to find the perpetrator of multiple killings that mimic a 13-year-old murder linked to a collection of photographs that belonged to his brother, Simon, the ruthless serial killer who met his demise in DIE FOR ME. Daniel is certain that someone even more depraved than his brother committed these crimes, and he's determined to bring the current murderer to justice and solve the mysterious crime from years ago.

With only a handful of images as a lead, Daniel's search will lead him back through the dark past of his own family, and into the realm of a mind more sinister than he could ever imagine. But his quest will also draw him to Alex Fallon, a beautiful nurse whose troubled past reflects his own. As Daniel becomes attached to Alex, he discovers that she is also the object of the obsessed murderer. Soon, he will not only be racing to discover the identity of this macabre criminal, but also to save the life of the woman he has begun to love.

A dark secret keeps Chicago assistant state's attorney Kristen Mayhew as tightly wound as the springy red curls she works to pin down. Meals at the nearby diner, sleepless nights renovating her empty house and days in court where the bad guy more often than not doesn't face justice make up her life-until she finds the bodies of three criminals she failed to convict in the trunk of her car. Each dead body comes accompanied by a sinister letter, the writer informing "Dearest Kristen" that justice has been done on her behalf. An unusual twist for a suspense novel, to be sure, but because the murderer preys on rapists, gang members and pedophiles, Rose'strademark tentacles of fear never fully extend (as they did in her earlier books, Don't Tell and Have You Seen Her). Instead, this book's greatest strength lies in the romance between Kristen and handsome detective Abe Reagan, who's still reeling from the death of his wife. Abundant side characters, including Abe's entire jovial clan, clutter the plot and diminish the story's tension, especially when minor players suddenly step forward to play major roles. But readers will appreciate Rose's sensitive portrayal of Kristen's hesitancy to trust and Abe's gentle perseverance in uncoiling the vibrant woman within.
