They say she has a death wish. Now someone wants to grant it. Critics call them provocative. Protesters call them obscene. But photographer Gillian Gray aims her macabre self-portraits at an audience of one—the faceless brute who murdered her supermodel mother. Their meaning is clear: “Come and get me.” And someone’s getting the message. Dead bodies start turning up in Nashville, posed to mimic Gillian’s photos. Against her will, Gillian is guarded by tough ex-cop Ray Pearce, a man whose commitment to the job is as strong as his belief that Gillian is in real danger. Yet his protection may not be enough to stop a vicious madman from creating his next masterpiece: a portrait of the artist as a young corpse.
