Lily deVries suffers from a psychiatric condition known as dissociative identity disorder. Triggered by a devastating childhood trauma, her mind has framented into different personalities. There's the gently, childlike Lily; the sexually voracious Lilah; and Lilith - the violent psychopath.
Now she's undergoing treatment in the Reed-Chase mental institution. And that's where she meets fellow DID sufferer Ulysses Maxwell - a man who faces life imprisonment for the rape, torture and murder of over a dozen women. When Lilith and Max - Maxwell's psychopathic personality - meet one another, the reaction is dynamite. And when the ingenious lovers engineer a bloody escape, it's up to ex-FBI Agent Pender and Dr Irene Cogan, a brilliant psychiatrist, to track them down.
But how will they catch a terrifying pair of killers who win hearts as easily as they slit throats? With haunting, hackle-raising writing, Nasaw succeeds in delving into the multifaceted mind and horrific world of the serial killer.
