Publisher's Synopsis
Gabriel Church knows you can't take a life without first understanding just how feeble life is, how tentative and weak it stands alone. If you desire murder, you hold a life in your hand. Whether you release it to grant life or grip tighter to end it, it is at your command and discretion. Gabriel is a serial killer with a story he wants told. Christian Maxwell studied abnormal psychology in college but chose instead to focus on a career in writing. His background comes in handy when he thinks of writing about a serial killer. He can't think of anyone more qualified to write the story of Gabriel Lee Church, and do so in the murderer's own words. It's been done before, but never with a killer who has yet to be captured or convicted. There was never anything more than a gentleman's understanding between the two men that Christian would record Gabriel's life story. The killer did not ask for his complicity in any crimes, nor did he ever ask for his silence. Christian's interest in the man, though, is fast becoming something more than academic. When the writer and his subject become unexpected friends and then lovers, the question remains: What is Gabriel's endgame . . . and why does he want his story told?
