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?

Gideon sensed Jesse behind him as two more vampires approached, but he couldn’t focus on what Jesse was doing. They would take advantage of any opening he provided—and allowing Jess to distract him was definitely an opening. He braced himself, slamming his fist into the vampire on the left, connecting with his gut. He shifted his weight to attack the second vamp, but before he could make contact, the vamp burst into dust.


“Sorry,” Jesse said, stepping beside him. “She split before I could stop her.”


“But you got Andre.” The first vampire was already straightening, and Gideon grabbed the fist aimed at his face to twist the arm behind his would-be assailant’s back. “And things were getting a little boring down here anyway.”
