The latest brutal murders in New York City have become an International crime mystery. Victims of a serial killer are uncovered in New York, Paris, and Beijing. Killing is just the beginning. To catch the killer, Agent Michael Steel from the FBI elite serial crime unit must make sense of obscure clues from-art, biomolecular science, heartbreak grass, ancient history, urban graffiti, dumpsters, and sugar-coated almonds. The more Agent Steel discovers, the more terrifying. This serial killer doesn't just kill, he is bent on a reign of Terribilità-the ability to provoke fear, is intrinsic in this serial killer's methodology of death. It happens in the space between two lives-it sleeps in the mind and is awake in a dream, it is there in the Liar's Room, dredged up from the Hudson River, found under a rose bush, it comes before a wedding day, it follows like a subversive shadow, it's there in the bones, and on a scalpel blade. While Agent Steel searches for patterns and motives in the mind of the international serial killer, he and his pregnant wife and unborn twins become the personal target of another savage killer. A killer with a disturbed poetic mind, and a personal score to settle. Prose writer, Susan Blanshard and Creative Adman, Bruce Blanshard, have executed unexpected twists and dark surprises in this, their collaborative debut literary crime thriller
