Description

It was Annabel, and something was wrong with her features . . . He thought he saw a triangle, not an irregular jigsaw shape after all. And it was missing from her face. As if a sharp pastry cutter mould had been stamped through her skull.

When Detective Jake Chandler is called in to investigate a murder, nothing can prepare him for the gruesome sight of Annabel Linton ...

Annabel was the model of Russian artist Avgustin Juniper, who finds himself in the centre of the investigation ... but he had no motive. Criminal attorney Cassandra Mousa sees this as her next big case and will stop as nothing to prove her client's innocence.

But as more of Juniper's models die, Chandler's investigation leads him to four beautiful, unique women, and the lost diaries of Pablo Picasso.

Something wants to return ... and Chandler has to stop it.

It was Annabel, and something was wrong with her features . . . He thought he saw a triangle, not an irregular jigsaw shape after all. And it was missing from her face. As if a sharp pastry cutter...

Advance Praise

"Wonderful blend of suspense, mystery and the supernatural. Had me guessing until the very end. A new favorite that I will re-read." -- 5 star reader review

The characters are fantastic and have a surprising amount of depth despite the fact that they each seem a little one-note when they’re first introduced. Juniper seems like the stereotype of the womanizing, charming artist, but he turns out to have a certain lovely naivete and trustingness to him. Cassandra seems like the typical hard lawyer at first, but she comes to develop her own feelings for Juniper. Lauren and Jake make an interesting couple, and each of them is experimenting with getting back into the dating game. Gemma seems like the most straightforward, unfeeling character of them, but if anything she turns out to have some of the most depth.
