Former model turned forensic psychologist and PI Mak Vanderwall is missing, presumed dead in Paris. By hiring a hit man to kill her, the powerful and corrupt Cavanagh family aimed to silence her for good. But after narrowly escaping death, Mak has taken over her would-be killer's world.

She is very much alive.

And transformed ...

Back in Sydney Mak's former flame, criminal profiler Andy Flynn is on the trail of a vicious rapist and murderer with possible ties to the infamous 'Stiletto Killer'. He may have struck before and will certainly do so again. And while Andy struggles to cope in a world without Mak, little does he realise she is on her way back. And this time she's ready to make her own justice.

      The book took a little bit more to get into compared to the other books in the series, but I I loved the book. It was a fantastic read, just a bit disappointed with a bit of the ending, also I am very sad that this is the last book in this series.
      Highly recommend this series to anyone

        This was my first Tara Moss novel and I immediatelly went out and bought more of her books. Not only is she an amazing woman (just read the "About the Author" page) but a skillful and delightful writer.

            Took a while to remember where we were at after Siren.Tara did her best to bring us up to date but it took a while. This didn't detract from the read though.

                sooo good, absolutely loved this book!! i could not put this one down!! the pages just turn themselves! tara moss has given her main character a suitable ending for those who have been reading the mak vanderwall novels for the past 15years. the in depth research and descriptions make you feel like you are actually walking the streets of paris, sydney, etc where tara has placed her characters. my favorite author of all time, and although this is the last book in this mak vanderwall series, i am looking forward to reading more of her work.
