A Carmen Palma Mystery

Synopsis: Houston
is shattered by a shock wave of unbelievably vicious sex killings. And
this time the pattern is unique—way out of line with traditional
violent-crime psychology. In Detective Carmen Palma's experience, a
psychopath always chooses anonymous targets. But the Houston victims
know and trust their killer: They meet willingly in hotel rooms, even
in their homes. They don't fight when the leather cuffs are fastened to
their wrists and ankles. They don't even struggle when the first blows
fall.
Palma's first lightning instinct is that the victims expected their
torture. They were practicing masochists, apart of a secret clique that
includes some of the city's most prominent women. They helped
choreograph their own punishments-every blow. They just didn't expect
to die.
