Amazon.com description: Product Description: "COMPLETELY COMPELLING."
--St. Petersburg Times

A vigilante serial killer is terrorizing Santa Fe. The victims: violent sex offenders who got off on legal technicalities. It's the job of forensic psychiatrist Dr. Sylvia Strange to uphold the law--and stop the executions.

"THE PLOT IS AS TAUT AS THE HEROINE'S NERVES."
--Los Angeles Times

Slowly, seductively, Sylvia is pulled into the demented world of a vengeance-seeking sadist. It will take all of her insight into the criminal mind, along with the eerie visions of a shaman convict, to uncover the killer's identity--before she becomes the next corpse. . . .

"GRIPPING SUSPENSE . . . GUT-WRENCHING AND FULL OF UNEXPECTED TWISTS."
