Author Description

"Fatima Rafferty, now an LAPD patrol officer, is offered the opportunity by Frank Fregoso, her Division Commander, to go undercover at a Kinsey-like sex research center funded by HONEYS mens' magazine mogul, Harold 'Honey' Coombs, when a young female researcher at the organization is brutally slain. A veiled promise of a possible promotion to homicide detective for Fati is part of Fregoso's deal. When the suave, sophisticated and very attractive psychiatrist head of the center refuses to turn over to the police the list of subjects whom the dead researcher has interviewed, Fregoso, who, Fati suspects, may harbor more than a casual interest in her, is convinced that the murderer may well be on that list, and the psychiatrist may be less than innocent in the case. Fati accepts Fregoso's offer and successfully deceives the center's staff into believing she is a UCLA graduate student in psychology and is hired. Eventually, she surreptitiously obtains the desired list and secretly begins interviewing its subjects on her own as possible murder suspects. At the same time, she finds herself falling for the psychiatrist, whom she cannot rule out as a vicious murderer. Her poorly concealed interest in the seductive psychiatrist arouses the jealousy of macho Division Commander Fregoso who has begun to openly exhibit romantic interest in the attractive young officer under his command. This potentially risky situation worries Fati, who realizes that her safety is ultimately in Fregoso's hands, especially when subsequent vicious murders are committed at the center, and Fati begins to suspect that she herself may be targeted as the next victim"--Amazon.com.
