Publisher's Synopsis
Roses and vines run delicately across her skin, snaking from her chest to the top of her thigh. On any other day the tattoo would look beautiful. But this was her last...
When Detective Maria Miller walks up creaking stairs into the attic of the old brownstone she senses this isn't an ordinary crime scene. The brutality of the murder is enough to shock even an experienced detective like Maria. But there's something else. An unsettling presence seems to lurk in the shadows sending a chill through Maria's bones, making her desperate to run back down the stairs and never return...
The killing is identical to the murder of an actress sixty years before, a crime that tore a family apart and sent shockwaves through New York City. In both cases, a satanic ritual was performed. Body parts were taken from the victims and never found.
Has the killer returned all these years later? Is there a copycat? Maria won't let fear stop her from finding answers. Even when her relentless pursuit of the truth brings evil to her own door...
Perfect for fans of John Connolly, A. J. Rivers and Cara Hunter, this chilling crime thriller from the bestselling author Helen Phifer will have you sleeping with the lights on.
