She came to New York to forget Wisconsin-its quiet streets, its frozen winters, and the one night that shattered her trust in men forever. A year later, Paloma Pierce blends into the city easily: a medium-length brunette with a soft voice, a polite smile, and blue eyes that never quite reveal what she's thinking. To most, she's just another woman chasing a new start as a journalist. But beneath her calm surface lives a past she refuses to name, and a rage she never fully buried. When a string of powerful men in New York begin to die-first a charismatic CEO, then a rising Wall Street star-the city whispers about coincidence, then conspiracy. Each man is connected, each man is hiding something, and each man thinks he's untouchable. They're wrong. This killer was here to leave a statement.
