    "He wrote her a love letter. Ten bodies long." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the fog-choked, rain-soaked city of Ashenveil, a killer is writing a poem across human bodies ..... one line per victim, one victim at a time. The symbol carved into their bones is ancient. The verse left beneath them is beautiful and the white silk they rest on costs more than most people make in a month. Whoever is doing this isn't broken. They're brilliant. And they have a list. When the first victim turns out to be her own estranged sister, Detective Keres Voss - sharp, haunted and the kind of dangerous that doesn't announce itself .....is pulled from leave and thrown into the most architecturally evil case of her career. She's partnered with her fiercely loyal partner Lock, assisted by the forensically brilliant Medical Examiner Ianthe and joined by Sable Nyx - a behavioural profiler who has spent so long inside the minds of killers she's stopped fully coming back out. And then there is Moros Daine. Behavioural consultant. Impossibly precise. Dark eyes that don't look away when they should. He arrived requesting this case before the body was even cold ... which means he knew. He's been hunting the killer for eighteen months across three countries and he still hasn't caught them, which either means he's unlucky.......or it means something else entirely. Keres knows she should trust him exactly as far as she can professionally justify. She knows that. She also knows that he looks at her the way she looks at crime scenes ..... like something to be understood and that at 2AM over autopsy photographs in a cold fluorescent room, the line between hunting a monster together and becoming something monstrous yourself is thinner than she'd like to admit. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
