Book Description: Young, healthy people are dying during the sexual act from stroke and cardiac arrest. Homicide detectives Sandra Van Ness and Walter Kearns believe there must be foul play involved but they have nothing to go on. No method, motive, forcible entry, struggle or weapons. There are no bacterial or viral compromises. No congenital histories of stroke or heart attack. No evidence of drugs or sado-masochistic play gone awry. One link connects these, otherwise, unrelated deaths. A woman. A behavioral institute is seeking her. To protect her. Kearns and Van Ness are also seeking her, to arrest her for murder, until Sandra Van Ness comes face to face with her and is irrevocably changed. Walter Kearns is in love with his partner, but something is wrong. Kearns follows Sandra and discovers her in the company of the woman they've been seeking. Torn between his love for Sandra and his lack of control over her choices, Walter takes a downward spiral into depression until he too comes face to face with the woman, but in a way he could never have dreamed. Is this woman committing serial murder or does the answer defy human reason?
