Blood Prose

• Watchlist

Gentle elegance has turned to bitter edge in the heart of Miriam Gladstone. The flowered, standing ovations on Broadway and London stages are a distant memory. Now, Miriam haunts dive bars and back alleys using her once delicate hands to crack skulls instead of monologues. Maybe this life detour was her destiny but more likely it's the guilt that brought her to this place. The guilt that her betrayal was what set off her fiancé to bludgeon to death two fellow actors during a live, televised performance of Julius Caesar. This horrid past becomes horrid prologue for Miriam when rogue Detective Brandon Spurr coerces her into tracking down a serial killer. The two soon find themselves in over their heads, ensnared in a hideous web of corruption, terror and murder fueled by sickening fetishes and madness. And for Miriam, a very personal, very bloody lesson in retribution is about to unfold.
