From the Inside Flap:

The couple on the bed had sex as if it were their final act. And for one of them it was. Neither of them heard the door slowly open. Neither of them observed the shadowy figure enter the room.They were too caught up in the throes of passionate lovemaking. Until . . . one single gunshot. The blood flowed. And for one of them, death and orgasm happened at the exact same moment. Life has a strange way of taking you on an unexpected trip. This was one of those times.
