Hot passion, cold blood. Sizzling prose.

Sex and violence. They go together like greed and blackmail, and jealousy and murder. Now acclaimed masters and rising stars of today's crime and mystery fiction offer hard-hitting, emotionally riveting, hauntingly erotic tales of cops, private eyes, perps, and average Joes and Janes swept up in the throes of urges too primal to be legal.

Westlake interrupts a sensual reverie with sudden violence...Stuart M. Kaminsky trails a parolee shadowed by hot temptation...Loren D. Estleman shows how lust can undermine an undercover cop...and twelve other exciting writers lure you into the seductively dangerous realm of...Flesh & Blood
