Something has come over Andrea Heller. After seven years of marriage to her voyeur husband, Matt, it seems she has a few ideas of her own. Like calling herself Abigail. And dressing a little sexier. And sitting on the other side of the bar, pretending to be single. And watching what happens. . . But there’s another couple watching, too. They call themselves Saila and Pharaoh, but only after sundown. And it is after sundown that some terrible things are happening in the singles clubs in Cleveland. In six months, three women in their twenties have been found brutally murdered — their flower tattoos so unceremoniously removed. And each step that homicide detective Jack Paris takes to bring the madness to an end takes him closer to the heart of his own forbidden impulses, and nearer the understanding that no one — not the man standing next to him at the precinct, nor the woman in his bed — is who he or she appears to be. When Paris ultimately discovers the terrifying secrets of The Swing Set, and the stakes become personal, he comes to know one certainty: to enter the minds of Saila and Pharaoh is to enter a world from which no one ever fully returns. |

Detective Michael Ryan died in Cleveland’s Renaissance Hotel two years ago, murdered with his own weapon. A stunning fashion model was accused of the crime, then cleared — leaving a good cop’s name forever tainted by these damning words: corruption, greed, and betrayal. Since that time homicide detective John Salvatore Paris has worked long and hard to salvage his good friend Mike Ryan’s reputation, but with no success. Now the beautiful suspect who walked away has perished in a fiery suicide. The circle is closed. But the rash of brutal slayings that is rocking Paris’s city suggest otherwise. The plague of terror and ritual sacrifice is savage enough to shatter even the most street-hardened cop’s faith in justice and a rational world. Each murder is different, yet equally horrific. The street hustler, the suburban career woman, the dealer in religious artifacts — the only evidence connecting these victims is a strange symbol carved into their flesh. And, perhaps, one name: Michael Ryan. |

A popular priest lies dead of a heroin overdose in a Cleveland apartment, following an apparent tryst with a high-priced callgirl. Nick Stella knew the man, and he knows salable news when he finds it. But there is something waiting for the struggling freelance journalist on the dead cleric’s e-mail that suggests this is not just another sordid case of fatal human frailty. A clue, a warning, a threat in the words of a great poet cries out that this was no accident. And it’s beckoning Nick into the mind of a psychopath, a twisted serial killer who is out for revenge. He’s going to keep dispensing his own unique brand of poetic justice — killing all who attended an elite Halloween party 20 years ago — unless one of his targets can stop his reign of terror. In an affluent Ohio suburb a world away, Amelia Saintsbury’s computer screen carries the same cryptic message. Someone is watching her . . . and waiting. A nightmare stands just outside her door, ready to devour everything and everyone she cares about — her life, her home, her wayward husband, her innocent little girl — uniting Amelia and an unorthodox city reporter in a desperate hunt for a killer. |
