Book description
One rainy night in New York City, outstanding law student Chloe
Larson wakes from a terrible nightmare. But it's not a nightmare -
it's real. Not only is she savagely violated in her own bedroom, Chloe
then has to deal with the horror of nobody being brought to justice.
Twelve years later a very different Chloe is forging a formidable
reputation in the Miami Dade State Attorney's Office, as a vicious
serial killer nicknamed Cupid terrorises Florida - tearing out his
tortured victim's hearts while they're still conscious. When the
police stop a driver on the McArthur Causeway and a mutilated corpse
is found in his trunk, it seems the hunt for Cupid is finally over.
But as Chloe begins the task of prosecuting the suspect, she soon
realises that this case will be anything but easy. Because her past is
about to force itself on her present - and the terror is only just beginning.
Sometimes there's a price to be paid for justice. And sometimes that
price is awful. Revenge could cost Chloe her sanity. The truth could
cost her her life.
THE PAST. THE PRESENT. THE TERROR.
