Eve Singer is a journalist stuck on the ‘meat beat’; she and her camera man Joe chase down every recent murder to get a shot of the gory body, determined to get the best viewings and move into reporting better stories. Eve soon learns to become careful what she wishes for when she begins to get her exclusives from the killer himself, a self-gratifying exhibitionist who is wooing her with a succession of gruesome murders. But how long will it be until he gets what he finally wants; to murder Eve?

This is an immensely readable story;it’s fast paced, exciting and has a good plot. The killer has a good motive and his psychopathy is wrapped up in the beauty of death and not the love of gore. It means that the murders, while horrible, aren’t gratuitously violent or gory. The killer was the most interesting character in this story. He’s so ordinary to observe and yet absolutely insane, and other than targeting Eve, he kills randomly.
