GOOD STANDARD USED READ CONDITION

FBI profiler Sophie Anderson is struggling to move beyond a case that six months ago nearly cost her her life and even now threatens her sanity. She is increasingly haunted by her ability to experience the minds of killers in the throes of heinous crimes; her talent is uncontrollable and unpredictable. But these intensely sickening flashes often serve as invaluable clues in tracking down criminals, and Sophie is compelled to suffer the horrors in her head in order to see justice done. When Darren Carter, a Tucson police detective and friend, asks her to come to Arizona for a vacation, she's relieved to take a break. But that vacation abruptly ends when bodies start showing up on a university campus and she and Darren are pulled into the case. The horrifying methodology, the deliberate body positioning and the distinctive red heart scrawled on each victim indicate to Sophie that a new serial killer has laid claim to the area. However, Sophie is puzzled by the fact that certain signature elements are different in each killing. Even more confusing is the fact that the FBI database has a record of many of the signatures—but they have been used by different serial killers. As the bodies continue to appear, Sophie must hone her terrifying skills to try to track down the killer—or killers.

On her first day in her new job in Los Angeles, FBI profiler Sophie Anderson finds herself investigating the murder of a bestselling crime writer who was strangled with a pair of stockings, just like the character in her last book. Before her death, the writer had received letters from "A fan" that had grown increasingly disturbing. When Sophie discovers a link to the murder of a second crime novelist, and another goes missing, she must get inside the mind of the crazed fan before another writer dies.

Just as Aussie FBI profiler Sophie Anderson is settling into her job in the L.A. bureau, she's pulled into a case that's different from anything she's ever seen—the victim has had his throat ripped out. But what weapon could have caused such devastating injuries? And who is the John Doe? Sophie and her team are dealing with a skilled killer, someone who leaves virtually no forensic evidence. When the team links the body to an Asian criminal organization, things get even more mysterious. The victim has been missing for fifteen years, so where has he been and why has he returned? More important, who wanted him dead? As L.A.'s underworld rears its ugly head, Sophie will have to draw on her experience and her developing psychic skills to find a brilliant killer who's carved a trail of death in organized crime across the U.S. He leaves only one thing behind him—horrifying murder scenes.

A young woman's body is found with puncture marks on her neck, and soon the delicious word vampire is on everyone's lips. All of FBI profiler Sophie Anderson's skills—psychic and psychological—will be needed for her to determine whether this was a thrill kill or something even more sinister. Exploring the blood bars and Goth clubs of L.A., Sophie immerses herself in the seductive culture of self-styled vampires. Posing as the alluring Lady Veronica and infiltrating a notorious clan, Sophie will learn just how deep the fantasy goes for some believers. When life requires death, nothing is sacred.
