A twisted serial killer with a taste for cruel and unusual punishment is terrorizing New York. Tough-as-nails Bronx police officer Sissy Dickerson can't hide her growing desperation to catch the so-called Pink Heart Murderer--and neither can her best friend and rookie journalist, April Davis. A story this perversely gripping could be the big break she's been waiting for...

For Sissy, finding the killer is about seeking justice. For April it's success. But for River Burlington--the Pink Heart Murderer herself--it's all just a game...and if Sissy and April draw any closer, she may just up the ante...and set them all hurtling towards an explosive climax that no one could see coming.
