For brilliant forensic anthropologist Dr Lilly Prior, the dead are preferable company. Her sterile lab is a sanctuary where the only language spoken is the quiet, logical truth of bone. But when the aggressively charming FBI Agent Jake Booth summons her to a bizarre crime scene-a skeleton posed at a macabre mannequin dinner party-her carefully controlled world is shattered.
This is no ordinary killer. He calls himself The Watcher, an artist who leaves behind pristine white feathers and cryptic symbols carved directly into his victims. He's a ghost who can walk through secured perimeters, and his terrifying, personal messages make one thing clear: this elaborate, deadly performance is all for Lilly.
Forced into an uneasy alliance with the infuriatingly handsome Agent Booth, Lilly must decipher The Watcher's horrifying riddles while navigating a threat she can't analyse: her own undeniable connection to the one man who might breach her defences for good. As the killer's obsession escalates, Lilly becomes the central piece in a terrifying game where losing is not an option.

Two people from different worlds meet in a dark alleyway; fate does its work and connects their lives together. ____________ "I know you all are curious," he began, his Russian accent thick and unmistakable. "But the only thing you need to remember is that this beautiful woman," his hand rested possessively on my shoulder, "is Eleanor Morozov." His eyes swept over the room, challenging anyone to dispute his claim. "But most importantly, she is mine." "Every word that comes out of her mouth," he says, his voice echoing through the cavernous room, "will hold as much power and meaning as my own. You disrespect her," he pauses, his gaze sweeping over each man, "you die. You look down at her, you die. You think of her in any way but as my equal, you die, and the process will be... unpleasant." Vlad takes his seat beside me, his hand resting casually on the arm of the chair. "Now that we have that cleared up, let's continue what we're here for."Complete
