Sometimes her eyes seduce. Sometimes they stare straight at the kind of sights most people turn from. But in the blazing neon and searing sun of NEVADA, she can’t start to see the man who's watching her and thinking to himself: She actually is the one. . . .
From the mountain views beyond the Strip to the dingy dens of forbidden pleasure, Susan Pulaski loves NEVADA. A female who wears a gun at her side and her heart on a sleeve, Pulaski is the perfect fit for her city and her job: unraveling the minds of deviant personalities. Until a killer starts decorating LAS VEGAS with the horribly disfigured bodies of once beautiful young women. . . . and Pulaski’s own demons embark on a binge.
Eight months after her cop husband’s death, her life is spinning out of control–equally her detective colleagues start searching for a serial killer who methodically stalks his female victims and plunges them into an orgy of terror. When a violent incident earns Pulaski a pink slip from the LVPD and a vacation to detox, she’s out of the hunt altogether, so she starts to desperately make an effort to regain her job, her reputation, and custody of the niece she’s been raising on her own. It appears hopeless–until Pulaski meets the one person who can lead her into the mind of your madman no one else can understand. Darcy O’Bannon is a twenty-five-year-old autistic savant whose relationship with the earth around him is so unusual which it forces Pulaski to see the crimes from a bizarre–but finally insightful–perspective.
White-knuckling her way to the guts of the case, she becomes the key player in a desperate search for a killer who believes he has found divine inspiration in the works of Edgar Allan Poe. But despite having the assistance of Darcy’s astonishing skills, Pulaski is at even more danger than she knows. For the man she seeks is watching her, seduced by her frailties and strengths, her beauty and boldness. To finish his masterwork of horror, he needs her.
In a blistering novel that includes glitz and goth, human weakness and human genius, and a murderous psychopath who's all too chillingly real, master storyteller William Bernhardt has generated an unparalleled literary NEVADA thrill ride that will leave readers breathless until the final, stunning page.
