Massage therapist Kathy Barrister thinks her life is perfect. She’s got a great career at a massage therapy institute she created, surrounded by dedicated pupils who want to model themselves after her.
Then Erin, Kathy’s protégé, is brutally murdered by a serial killer stalking Craigslist prostitutes who use massage therapy as a legal pretense. Kathy’s investigation plunges her into a world of dark corners and self-recrimination when she learns Erin really did turn to a life of prostitution. But it also reunites her with Greg, the man she’s always wanted. Now a police detective investigating Erin’s murder, Greg becomes a powerful ally and lover. Kathy desperately needs both: for as the killer murders even more people associated with her past, she realizes he must be close to her—maybe even one of her current students. Stopping him becomes Kathy’s obsession, even if it means making herself his next target.
