In the attic of a deserted tenement, the body of a criminal is found hanging with his face horribly mutilated. Investigating officers Detective Inspector Anderson and Detective Sergeant Costello believe he was a suspect in a decade-old case: the rape and attempted murder of a young student. There are other similar cases on file. But the dead man didn’t act alone. He had an accomplice in his crimes.
When another young woman is brutally attacked, Anderson and Costello suspect the accomplice has developed a taste for killing. To satisfy his lust he will kill again and again unless Anderson and Costello can stop him.

Paperback. Condition: Good. A year after the events that killed her sister and turned her into a siren, Vanessa is desperately trying to put her family back together and reclaim a normal life. But no matter how many times she swims or how much salt water she drinks, she can feel herself getting weaker and weaker.

Back in Maine for the summer, reminders of ex-boyfriend Simon are everywhere. Vanessa loves him and would do anything to make things work. But how can she ever let him back in her life when she is a monster who will only cause him more heartache? And how can Simon ever love her back when he learns the truth -- that to stay alive Vanessa must give in to the needs of her siren self, no matter who it hurts?
