Synopsis

A killer with a passion for the past, his victims tortured beyond endurance, and all done in the name of a game: DIE FOR ME is bestselling Karen Rose at her most chilling best. Part of the Philadelphia/Atlanta series. 'Delivers the kind of high-wire suspense that keeps you riveted to the edge of your seat' Lisa Gardner.

When a multimedia games designer decides to take his research to the next level for his new game, The Inquisitor, fantasy ends and murder begins.

Vito Ciccotelli, homicide detective in Philadelphia PD, is expecting the worst. Called to a remote murder site in a wooded area on private property, he is confronted with numerous bodies, all with horrific injuries, all it seems the victim of the same killer.

When the medical examiner reveals that the wounds are consistent with instruments of medieval torture, Ciccotelli turns to Sophie Johannsen, museum curator and specialist in medieval warfare, to learn more about the killer's methods and to try and find the killer before he spirals out of control...

With a rising body count and a ruthless killer at large, this is classic Karen Rose.

From AudioFile

Tavia Gilbert's well-paced narration of Karen Rose's latest suspense keeps things hopping. Philadelphia homicide detective Vito Ciccotelli calls upon the expertise of archaeologist Sophie Johansen to track a sadistic sociopath who uses medieval torture devices to make his kills. When Vito and Sophie come face-to-face, it's lust-at-first-pheromone, and as the sexual tension builds, so does the suspense. Gilbert is appropriately matter-of-fact when examining the dynamics of the video game industry and when offering graphic descriptions of disemboweling, a chair of nails, and the inquisitor's rack. She's less controlled in dialogue sequences involving more than two characters, but she's terrific with children's voices, and the love scenes fairly sizzle. Rose is a master of the romantic mystery, and listeners won't be disappointed. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
