Every year on June 19th, the Sculptor of Death―one of the most notorious serial killers of the 60s and 70s―strikes with a remarkable murder, staged like a masterpiece of macabre art.

But he's not the only one who can stage things…

Daisy Burton is his biggest admirer. She has been watching him for years and knows exactly who he is. When she gets accepted into the art academy where he works as a sculpture professor, their story can finally begin.

The masked murderer, who goes by the name Lester Gilbert, has no idea his world is about to be thrown off its axis when his obsessive star student forces herself onto his path.

A delicate dance of push and pull unfolds. A game of cat and mouse.

Despite the harrowing past that made him, Lester can't help falling into her trap. The talented, smart-mouthed nymphomaniac becomes his drug, his newfound bloodlust. Just like she intended, he develops a fascination with her all the same.

Together they dive into a dark abyss of lust and forbidden desires, as they let their souls intwine like the threads of a rope. A happily ever after was never in the cards for him. But now that he has it in his grasp, will he risk it all for a ghost from his past or hold on and never let go?
