Amazon.com description: Product Description: In hot legal water -- and court-ordered therapy -- Tess Monaghan is ready for a distraction. So she agrees to look into a series of unsolved homicides that date back over the past six years despite the fact that the assignment originates in part from a most troubling source: Wealthy Baltimore benefactor Luisa O'Neal, who was both instrumental in launching Tess's present career and intimately connected with the murder of Tess's former boyfriend.

Though Luisa's non-profit organization hires Tess simply to review old police documents for inconsistencies and investigative blunders, curiosity is soon leading her on the paper trail. And it may get her killed when she finds herself cast into a terrifying cat-and-mouse game with an ingenious slayer who changes identities as often as clothing. A single common link to five senseless murders begins to emerge with shocking clarity to tie the loose ends together into one bloody knot . . . and the link is Tess Monaghan herself.
