But Grace is surprised to find the fastidious  Kathleen living in a grungy Washington, D.C., neighborhood. Kathleen, reeling from  a bitter divorce and the loss of her son, is saving every penny of her teacher's  salary to hire a hotshot lawyer for a custody battle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Then Grace discovers that  Kathleen is boosting her income with an unlikely profession: as an at-home phone-sex  operator. Known as Desiree to the clients of Fantasy, Inc., Kathleen is living life  on the edge. Yet how dangerous could it really be? With the ironclad anonymity the  agency guarantees its employees, could anyone ever track her down?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Grace finds out  one cherry-blossom-scented night when she comes home to find her sister dead, strangled  with the cord of her \"special\" phone. Suddenly Grace's life turns into a scene from  one of her own books — the horror, the tight-lipped police, the shattered survivor.  Only this time the survivor is Grace herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But she isn't waiting around for the  police to catch up with the killer. Instead she creates a daring trap to lure the  killer to her. Her plan goes against every coolheaded instinct of Detective Ed Jackson,  the lead investigator on the case. He's read all of Grace's books and might have  been the perfect consultant for the one she's working on, though in this real-life  murder, she's the last complication he needs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He's determined to keep Grace out  of harm's way, but it's too late. Her trap has already worked. She has aroused the  attention of a brilliant madman, and now nothing may be able to protect her from  the murderous lust that drives this killer down a path of ecstasy laced with death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreviously only available as an abridged recording.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49341033283888,"sku":"BDatsd","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/255422-atsd-Square.jpg?v=1734053228","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-atsd","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
