New York. A serial killer is releasing snuff films to the media, drawing Detective Ron Stanford into a game of cat and mouse while he grapples with Tess Gideon's return from Europe and the unfinished emotional business between them. As the investigation intensifies, they're drawn into a twisted world of sex parties and forbidden depravity so lurid even a seasoned cop like Stanford is shocked. Gritty and unflinching, the saga's breakneck pace accelerates relentlessly to a climax so surprising it is guaranteed to leave even the most jaded aficionado of crime mysteries gasping.**From the AuthorFatal Deception is the sequel to Fatal Exchange. Both books are crime fiction, and cover the darker side of humanity, in the vein and tradition that authors like Tom Harris so deftly mine. If you favor gritty, realistic stories that explore the controversial and the despicable in human nature, these are for you. If you prefer cozy detective novels, a la Agatha Christie, you'd be advised to look elsewhere. If you're unsure, read the look inside and judge for yourself. Fair warning.
