Book description
Kayleigh Towne is a beautiful and successful singer-songwriter, and
Edwin Sharp is her biggest fan. When she replies to one of his fan
letters with 'XO', Edwin is convinced she loves him, and that her latest
hit song 'Your Shadow' was written for him. Nothing Kayleigh or her
lawyers can say persuades him otherwise. Then the singer gets an
anonymous phone call; it's the first verse of 'Your Shadow' playing.
Soon after, one of the crew is horribly murdered. Kayleigh's friend
Kathryn Dance, a special agent with the California Bureau of
Investigation, knows that stalking crimes are not one-off occurrences,
and, sure enough, more verses of the song are played as warnings of
death to follow. With a little help from forensic criminalist Lincolyn
Rhyme, Dance must use her kinesic and investigative skills in an attempt
to find the killer before more people die. Deaver has written the actual
song, 'Your Shadow'. Readers will be able to download it from www.
