Description

Terrifying secrets and a stunning mystery power this page-turner from the New York Times No.1 bestseller. Objects of desire... or death? When prize-winning photojournalist Jordan Glass chances upon a portrait by an unknown artist in Hong Kong, she is shocked. The face staring back at her is her missing identical twin sister. The painting is part of an exhibition entitled 'Sleeping Women' and Jordan realizes that the portraits are all of women who have recently disappeared from New Orleans. Electrifying a case previously paralysed by a lack of bodies, this new evidence spurs the FBI's serial killer unit into action. Working with the FBI, Jordan becomes both hunter and hunted in search for the artist- and is forced to confront terrifying secrets about her past in a final stunning showdown.
