evidence is destroyed. As the body count rises and one murder unveils
another, a gruesome pattern emerges. Someone is killing people in
ways that mirror Kendra's most notorious cases. She has a fan:
someone who admires her work and is twisted enough to show that
admiration through murder--while naming himself after the biggest art
forger of the 20th century. He views himself not as a monster but as
an artist. And he is not working alone.

Could he be the answer to all her dreams? “Nanny By
Chance” (01/99) Just as Araminta Pomfrey was to begin her
nurse's training, her parents volunteered her as a nanny to Dr. Marcus van
