Synopsis

Police Detective Marvin Scott has been summoned to another scene-a woman wearing a pink dress and an expensive string of pearls, found with her throat cut in the archives room of the Denver Public Library. This makes number five with no end in sight. Just as number five goes under the coroner's knife Christine DeCapron disappears and the frenzied search to find her before she puts on the pink dress begins.Based on past cases the police believe they have ten days before Christine's body will show up, but the game has accelerated in the killer's mind and the clock is ticking faster than ever.In the grip of a truly deranged killer, Christine accepts that her death is eminent but she is determined that she will leave her mark as she battles to hold her own in a dark sea of insane obsession. What will a psychopath do when the victim refuses to play by his rules? The exchange is intense, sometimes terrifying, and will keep you turning pages up to the very end.
