Simon & Schuster, New York, 1995, 1^st/1^st.  ISBN 0-684-80357-7.  Hard cover, 288 pages.  Very good plus; appears unread.  Dust jacket with price intact has light wear at upper corners and a tiny tear at spine head.  Interior clean and unmarked.  Author’s first novel.  ‘An erotically charged thriller that tracks a pair of vicious killers – and the homicide detectives who must bring their rampage to an end – into a dark, twisted rabbit hole of subterranean sex, suburban voyeurism, kidnapping and murder. … 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.’ (from front flap)
