The killing just won’t stop as a ruthless psychopath revisits his greatest obsession–but this time, a Richmond, Virginia homicide detective is determined to stop him in his bloody tracks. . .
An aspiring artist. A high-school senior. A stripper. Three missing women with only one thing in common–wealthy Craig Thornton knew them all. For that, they paid the ultimate price.
When Craig’s widow, Adrianna, begins to receive cards and flowers from her late husband, she assumes it’s someone’s cruel joke. Then grisly remains are found on the Thornton estate. Detective Gage Hudson believes the bodies are linked to Craig. But the biggest shocks are yet to come. A psychopath has resumed his work, each death a prelude to his most cherished target. The only way to stop him is to uncover a family’s dark past–and a twisted love someone will kill for, again and again. . .

Summary
This is one of the best suspense fiction books I have read in a long while. It is truly a page turner and the author does a great job of keeping the 'who done it' mystery until the end. The characters are all very believable and the story flows along at an amazing pace. It is a hard book to put down as you start trying to solve the plot and put all of the pieces of the mystery puzzle together.
Violence-This is not a violent book, as even the murder descriptions are very basic.
Being a romantic suspense, this book does not have any crude language.
Sexual-Because of the romantic aspects of this book, there are some sexual references, but nothing crude or explicit.
