The best, however, is yet to come.<br><br> When Davenport is called to the white-stuccoed house, after the party, he knows it's for no usual case. For one thing, the strangulation victim is Alie'e Maison, she of the knife-edge cheekbones and jade-green eyes: as models go, one of the biggest. For another, there are a few small complications. Such as the drugs in her body and the evidence that she had recently made love to a woman. Such as the fact that one of Lucas's own men had been at the party, and is now a suspect. Such as the little surprise they are all about to find when they search the house: a second body, stuffed in a closet, with a deep dent in its skull.<br><br>The whole case is going to be like this, Lucas knows--secrets piled upon secrets, the ground shifting constantly under his feet.

Book summaryScandal and taboo surround the lusty but lovable Lucas Davenport as he tries to pin down the murderer of a young fashion model.Media Reviews"The dialogue is deft, the melodrama masterfully orchestrated and the conclusion truly culminant. As secrets explode, as bullets fly and bodies fall, and as the ground keeps shifting, there's hardly time to keep up with the spectacle. But you won't want to miss it." -- Eugen Weber, Los Angeles Times Book Review "John Sandford puts in enough suspects, subplots and just plain weirdness to fuel a dozen thrillers. This is occasionally a problem, as the storytelling is not quite as cohesive as we usually get in this series, but that's a minor complaint about what is a very entertaining yarn." -- Chris Petrakos, Chicago Tribune Books Publisher NotesInvestigating the murder of supermodel Alie'e Maison, Lucas Davenport finds complications in the victim's drug habits and secret sex life, as well as the suspicion of one of Davenport's own men and the discovery of a second body in the house. 400,000 first printing.
