    About this ebook

    He can only truly lover her once her heart stops beating

    Homicide detective Taylor Jackson thinks she’s seen it all – but she’s never seen anything as perverse as The Conductor. After capturing his victim, he contains her in a glass coffin and slowly starves her to death. Only when her last breath is gone does he give in to his attraction.

    Soon bodies begin to litter the town, arranged in sinister, well-known poses of great works of art. But when similar murders are reported in Europe, it appears the twisted fantasies of a madman cannot be contained. The coffin is empty… Are you next?

    Praise for J.T. Ellison

    "A terrific lead character, terrific suspense, terrific twists…a completely convincing debut." – Lee Child
