LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis summons his friend, pscyhologist-sleuth Alex Delaware, to a trendy gallery where a promising young artist has been brutually garroted on the night of her first major showing. The details of the murder scene immediately suggest to Alex not an impulsive crime of passion but the meticulous and taunting modus operandi of a serial killer. Delaware's suspicions are borne out when he and Milo find there's a link between the artist's death and the murder of a noed blues guitarist. The twisting trail leads from halfway houses to palatial mansions, and from a college campus to the last place Alex ever expected: the doorstep of his ex-lover Robin Castagna. As more killings are discovered, unraveling the maddening puzzle assumes a chilling new importance - stopping a vicious psychopath who's made cold-blood murder his chosen art form.

It was only the second time Inspector Morse had ever taken over a murer enquiry after the preliminary -invariably dramatic- discovery and sweep of the crime scene. Secretly pleased to have missed the blood and gore, Morse and faithful Lewis go about finding the killer who stabbed Dr. Felix McClure, late of Wolsey College. In another part of Oxford, three women -a housecleaner, a schoolteacher, and a prostitute- are playing out a drama that has long been unfolding. It will take much brainwork, many pints, and not a little anguish before Morse sees the startling connections between McClure's death and the daughters of Cain....

Pure terror takes over as she realizes she's being buried alive, and her last breath is a scream that no one but a sadistic killer will hear....

Another body is found. And another. Each gruesome discovery unnerves Nikki a little more...there's something familiar about it, something she should know. Now, as a serial killer pulls her ever deeper into his sick game, she has no idea how close she's getting to the truth - or how deadly it will be....

Toni Fraser and her friends think they've hit on the ultimate moneymaking plan. Buy an ancient run-down Scottish castle. Turn it into a tourist destination. Sweep visitors into a reenactment that combines fact and fiction, complete with local history, murder and an imaginary laird named Bruce MacNiall.
But when the castle's actual owner - a tall, dark and formidable Scot who share the fictional laird's name - comes charing in, Toni is shocked. How is it possible he even exists? Toni invented Bruce MacNiall for the performance...yet every particle of his being is eerily familiar.
Soon the group is drawn into a real-life murder mystery; young women are being killed, their bodies dumped nearby. And Toni is having sinister lifelike dreams in which she sees through the eyes of the killer - dreams that suggest a connection to Laird MacNiall. Bruce claims he wants to help catch the murderer. But can Toni trust him...especially when his ghostly double wanders the forest in the black of night?
