 Miami reporter Britt Montero is preoccupied with tight deadlines, pressure from her
editor for the big scoop, a boyfriend who might propose, and a former beauty queen
who keeps phoning to say someone's trying to kill her. Then a story that could be her
biggest news coup ever falls into Britt's lap. A beautiful but deadly serial killer has already
murdered half a dozen men by seducing them, putting a bullet between their eyes, and
then shooting their genitals off. The so-called Kiss Me Killer has eluded police so far. But
in a bizarre twist, she phones Britt to promise an exclusive interview if Britt will meet her
secretly. Britt notifies the cops, who set up an elaborate plan to capture the woman.
Naturally, the plan fails, and Britt ends up as the killer's hostage during a gruesome and
deadly murder spree, during which, ironically, the killer provides Britt with the promised
interview. Britt gets her big story all right, but the price is far too high. Taut, terrifying, and
suspenseful, Buchanan's hard-hitting novel takes this solid series to a new level.
