Meer oor hierdie e-boek
A young woman investigates her adventurous sister's death in this mystery from a Shamus Award–winner who "can raise emotional bruises" ( The New York Times).
Annie Honeycut is one of the country's most daring freelance photographers, known for her willingness to risk anything for the perfect shot. Working on an assignment about a mysterious house outside Denver, the site of a string of grisly murders a century ago, Annie needs just one more picture to make it perfect: a shot of the murder room, for which she must scale the wall of the creaky old Victorian. She gets the picture, but it will be her last. Annie is found the next morning on the house's lawn, dead with a broken neck.
After Annie's funeral, her sister inherits the camera. As cautious and sensible as Annie was wild, Nora is nevertheless intrigued by Annie's final picture, which shows a seemingly human shape in the corner of the room. To solve the mystery of her sister's final moments, Nora digs into the forgotten killing spree, and a house with secrets just as dangerous today as they were a century ago.

Meer oor die skrywer
Michael Allegretto (b. 1944) is an American author of thrillers and mystery fiction best known for creating Colorado private detective Jacob Lomax. Raised in Colorado, Allegretto spent his youth listening to the stories of his father, a Denver police officer whose experiences he later used as the basis for his first books. He made his debut in 1987 with Death on the Rocks, a story of murder, blackmail, and pornography that introduced Allegretto's only series character: Jacob Lomax, an ex-cop who becomes a private detective after the brutal murder of his wife.
Lomax would star in four more novels, including Blood Stone (1988), The Dead of Winter (1989), and Grave Doubt (1995). In the early 1990s, Allegretto began writing standalone novels, including the Christmas suspense story Night of Reunion (1990) and the fast-paced family thriller The Watchmen (1991).
