'Silky-smooth... stylish suspense, with a winsome hero and agreeable dollops of sex, gore and demented mayhem' Kirkus Review Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that he's too smart to be a cop, but it's pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside-out. Suddenly he is on the front page of every New York newspaper, and his life is hopelessly entwined in the encreasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the country's hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman. No matter where he turns, the case is waiting for him, haunting his nights and turning his days into a living hell. Stone finds himself caught in a perilous web of unspeakable crimes, dangerous friends and sexual depravity that has throughout it one common thread: Sasha.
