Perfect Angel

Sizzling…Original…Hypnotic…A page-turner. -ORLANDO SENTINEL

Thoroughly chilling and engrossing…a breathtaking psychological thriller. -LIBRARY JOURNAL

Back at college in the ‘70s, they called themselves The Madison Seven -a close circle of friends inseparably linked by trust, loyalty, and love. Then one night, years later, they gathered at Julia Mallet’s Manhattan apartment for a Come-As-You-Were Party and decided to play a game…

Tough, beautiful and independent, Julia Mallet feels her life is nearly perfect. She holds a high-profile executive position in an important advertising firm. She is raising a beautiful little daughter, Emily, without the inconvenience of a husband. And now The Madison Seven have come together once again to celebrate her thirty-fifth birthday…and to bring back a past that should have been left dead and forgotten.

Less than twenty-four hours later, a woman Julia barely knows is brutally and senselessly slain by a faceless psychopath. NYPD Detective Ray Burgess is a man pursued by shadows, a good cop who has stared too deeply into the face of evil, and his obsessive dedication is drawing him closer to Julia, even as a crazed killer strikes again and again.

The maniac has left a calling card behind that only Julia Mallet can read: the result of a post-hypnotic suggestion inadvertently lodged in six subconscious minds-the dark residue of a harmless party game gone terribly wrong. Now Julia knows without question that one of her six dearest friends is a murderer…and is coming after her next.
