    From The Back of The Box
    A night of steamy passion snowballs into a marathon of madness and murder in this gritty, provocative thriller. When blonde bombshell Meredith Lake breezes into his office, New York private eye, Bob Signorelli can't resist giving her "personal" attention. But their one-night stand becomes a deadly liaison when they are linked to a murder. Just as shocking secrets come to light about Meredith and her tie to a mysterious art gallery owner, the killer strikes again, framing Signorelli. With his long-time enemy police detective Cooper hot on his trail, Signorelli will have to catch the real killer-before the police catch him.
