A serial killer is turning New Orleans into his personal playground. The victims are killed in pairs - no connection, no apparent motive, no real clues. It's a very sick game, and it's only just begun. Abby Chastain left New Orleans long ago and for good reason. Now she's back where she feels watched, as if the devil himself is scraping a fingernail along her spine.

I love "Diego" - have in the other stories he has managed to pop up in. Happily he has found time for love again even while working a terrible murder case. Hitting close to home for him as this case ends up doing, I applaud his ability to keep working. I always love a good book where the hero ends up finding out he is susceptible to emotion. This is a great story of Detective Montoya. The two stories twain and the unfolding is slow enough to follow with clarity. Both characters have overcome hardship and grief in order to prepare for each other as eventually happens in stories like this. It is a plot with twists that are unexpected and the story eventually unfolds to show the hows/whys of the plot. The twist have you believing one thing, while something totally different is eventually going to happen. Truely a suspense novel first, a love story second. As it is with good books, one does not focus on either part separately but as a whole in order to the ultimate conclusion.
