117,95 - 133,95 kr. Ani FaNelli har utrætteligt iscenesat sig selv, siden hun var 14 år. Nu er hun 28. Hun er blevet en smuk kvinde, hun skriver klummer til det fashionable New York Women’s Magazine, hun bor på den rigtige adresse i Manhattan, og snart skal hun giftes med en rig arving og kan så træde direkte ind i det toneangivende overklassemiljø i New York. Hun er besat af tøj og af mærkevarer, og hun sulter sig for at kunne passe brudekjolen i den eftertragtede size zero. Hun har manipuleret med alt og alle - ikke mindst med sig selv - for at blive præcis den person, hun tror, hun skal være. Det er ikke nogen rar person. Men Ani har en hemmelighed. Som 14-årig hed hun Tif Ani og kæmpede for at blive accepteret på den fine kostskole, som hendes irsk-italienske forstadsforældre anbragte hende på. Her overlevede hun en tragedie, der var så smertefuld og så ydmygende, at hun for enhver pris må undgå, at den trænger sig på og forstyrrer hendes pæne overflade. Men scener fra dengang dukker op i flashbacks, som hun ikke kan afværge, og snart må hun tage en meget stor beslutning.

A serial killer's murderous spree in the Pacific Northwest couldn't be further from the minds of the vibrant young women at the top sorority on Florida State University's campus in Tallahassee. That night, Pamela Schumacher, president of the sorority, makes the unpopular decision to stay home. Startled awake at 3 a.m. by a strange sound, she makes the fateful decision to investigate. What she finds outside her bedroom door is a scene of implausible violence -- two of her sisters dead; two others, maimed. On the other side of the country, in Seattle, Tina Cannon has found peace after years of hardship. A chance encounter brings twenty-five-year-old Ruth Wachowsky into her life and they forge an instant connection. But then Ruth goes missing from Lake Sammamish State Park in broad daylight, the same day as another young woman, surrounded by thousands of beachgoers. Both vanish without a trace. Tina is convinced Ruth was a target of the man the papers refer to as the All-American Sex Killer. When she learns of the massacre in Tallahassee, Tina is convinced it's him again. She rushes to Florida, on a collision course with Pamela -- and one last impending tragedy."--
