As one of New York's top sex therapists, Dr Morgan Snow encounters everything from couples grappling with sexual boredom to twisted sociopaths with dark, erotic fetishes.
Cleo Thane is a patient Morgan connects with immediately. A high-priced prostitute, Cleo is remarkably sensitive and unscathed. She's a woman desperate to reconcile her successful professional life with her neglected personal one. And when she asks Morgan to read her unpublished 'tell-all' book about her exclusive clientele, Morgan realises that what she has in her hands could be explosive.
Then Cleo disappears . . .
Meanwhile, Detective Noah Jordain is trying to stay one step ahead of a serial killer who has been targeting prostitutes, killing them with ritualistic precision. Coming across a missing person's report on Cleo, Noah wonders if she, too, has fallen prey to the psycho's wrath. But Dr Morgan Snow refuses him any insight into her patient. Instead, Morgan begins her own investigation into Cleo's disappearance.
Certain that the answers lie in the tell-all manuscript, Morgan delves into it and discovers the private confessions of a woman paid to act out the sexual fantasies of some of the city's most powerful men. She is shocked by how much the intimate sexual details of another woman's life affect her own and she realises, too late, that she's ventured into dangerous - maybe deadly - territory . . .
