From Nora Roberts, the #1 “New York Times” bestselling author of
The Villa and Carolina Moon, comes a classic tale — a searing
novel of twisted passion and lethal cunning, available in hardcover
for the first time. Superstar mystery novelist Grace McCabe needs
to unwind after a grueling book tour, and visiting her sister, whom
she hasn’t seen in months, seems the perfect solution. But Grace is
surprised to find the fastidious Kathleen living in a grungy
Washington, D.C., neighborhood. Kathleen, reeling from a bitter
divorce and the loss of her son, is saving every penny of her
teacher’s salary to hire a hotshot lawyer for a custody battle.
Then Grace discovers that Kathleen is boosting her income with an
unlikely profession: as an at-home phone-sex operator. Known as
Desiree to the clients of Fantasy, Inc., Kathleen is living life on
the edge. Yet how dangerous could it really be? With the ironclad
anonymity the agency guarantees its employees, could anyone ever
track her down? Grace finds out one cherry-blossom-scented night
when she comes home to find her sister dead, strangled with the
cord of her “special” phone. Suddenly Grace’s life turns into a
scene from one of her own books — the horror, the tight-lipped
police, the shattered survivor. Only this time the survivor is
Grace herself. But she isn’t waiting around for the police to catch
up with the killer. Instead she creates a daring trap to lure the
killer to her. Her plan goes against every coolheaded instinct of
Detective Ed Jackson, the lead investigator on the case. He’s read
all of Grace’s books and might have been the perfect consultant for
the one she’s working on, though in this real-life murder, she’s
the last complication he needs. He’s determined to keep Grace out
of harm’s way, but it’s too late. Her trap has already worked. She
has aroused the attention of a brilliant madman, and now nothing
may be able to protect her from the murderous lust that drives this
killer down a path of ecstasy laced with death. “From the Hardcover
edition.”
