Beauty is in the eye of the master ...<br><br>Gideon Keel and Jesse Madding have seen dozens of gruesome crime scenes over the years, but nothing compares to the latest discovery -- a body put on horrific display. Clues in the apartment indicate that while the woman expired, party guests enjoyed rich caviar and expensive champagne. But there are no other clues about the victim or the culprits.<br><br>Empath Emma Coolidge is determined to save her sister from the same monsters Gideon and Jesse are hunting. And she’ll do anything for the two men who rescued her from a similar fate. The three plan a sting operation to infiltrate the small group of "art connoisseurs" by sadistically turning Jesse into a living work of art, but will it be enough to save Chicago from more vicious murders in the name of beauty?

“He’s probably going to take you back to the office, make sure you’re not hurt, find out how you got in a place like this, then hunt down whoever is responsible.” Jess smiled gently. “Gideon isn’t going to hurt you, I promise you. And hey, when have I ever lied to you?”


“Gideon…” She rolled the name around on her tongue, as if she was trying it out. “Why would he do that? Because you asked him to help me?”
