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?

“At Andre’s house,” Lizzie muttered. “But I don’t need anything. I just…I just want to put all of that stuff behind me.”


“You know, Mom and Dad have been really worried.”


Lizzie took a deep breath. “I know. Emma, you have to believe me, I never meant to hurt them. But Andre…”


As Michelle turned the final corner to their destination, Emma met her sister’s eyes. “Oh, I know all about Andre. But you stayed with him for a month anyway, now didn’t you?”


“Emma, I didn’t stay,” she immediately protested. “He wouldn’t let me leave. You should have heard some of the things he used to say to me.”


Lizzie responded without hesitation. “If I left him, he’d find you and kill you. Mom and Dad, too. Everybody I loved. He said he’d hunt you all down one by one. I didn’t have any reason to think he was lying.”


“So you were in his house the entire time?”


“I…I don’t know. It was all so confusing.”
