About the Book

Forensic criminalist Lincoln Rhyme and detective Amelia Sachs are called on to investigate their most bizarre crime case yet in this thrilling short story by the New York Times bestselling author and master of suspense.

A serial killer is on the loose…but the string of murders fails to reveal a clear motive. Each victim—all women—received the same treatment: death by asphyxiation.

As Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs examine the evidence left behind, they stumble upon what might be the most bizarre incentive for murder they’ve encountered yet. But will they be able to identify the perp and stop him before his strange urges mean more deaths across all of New York City?
