Investigative journalist Zoe Greene, traumatized by a serial killer, has
switched to writing for a soap-opera digest. Obsessed with soap star
Warren Clark, she delights in joining him at his home in Mexico. But
nearby, the mutilated body of a teenager was found recently, his heart
torn from his body. From the moment Zoe arrives, things go wrong. Warren
disappears for long stretches of time. Other Americans she meets hide
strange black crosses and blood-tipped cacti in their homes. When more
people end up dead, their hearts torn out, Zoe's investigative instincts
kick in. But even as she follows ominous clues, she may well be next on
the killer's list....
