A half dozen bodies in a hotel room lead an ex-NYPD detective into danger in a tale of "white-knuckle suspense" by the New York Times-bestselling author (Booklist).

Pretty Maids All In A Row

Six dead women in a hotel room. Five of them students, still in their teens. Tied up. Tortured. The NYPD recognizes the suspect's signature�three bloody initials carved into each victim's forehead. Ex-cop Frank Quinn has faced this madman before. Both bear scars from their last encounter. Killer and cop, hunter and prey...In a deadly game of matched wits, only one can prevail. It's not just about who gets killed. It's about who will survive . . .
