This gripping second installment of the Mathews & Saint detective series tackles, with a sharp noir edge, the hidden dangers of a modern escort agency. Perfect for fans of complex, socially relevant crime thrillers.

To solve their first case as new partners, John and Kayla must immerse themselves in the decadent extravagance and deadly deceit of one of the world's most prestigious escort agencies. The Stellar Agency promises its escorts safety, reward, and empowerment—a huge improvement over the brutal realities of the streets. But beneath the veneer of stunning beauty and seeming innocence lies a dark secret.

A serial killer has been hunting the agency's elite escorts for years, using its exclusive website to select and stalk his victims. To catch the monster, John and Kayla join the agency's inner circle, only to discover that its motto, “Beauty You Can Trust,” couldn’t be further from the truth.

Tempted at every turn by the lure of obscene money and ready sex, the trust John and Kayla share begins to fracture, and as the killer closes in on his next victim, they’re faced with a choice—either succumb to the tempting seduction at the cost of their friendship, or channel the strength and respect they share to survive this madness and put an end to the killing once and for all.
