A ravishing young mind reader stalks the streets at night, prowling for men to murder.
A soft-spoken genius toils away in the city morgue, desperate to unearth the science behind his shape shifting powers.
It’s a match made in 1928 Chicago, where gangsters run City Hall, jazz fills the air, and every good girl’s purse conceals a flask.
Until now, eighteen-year-old Ruby’s penchant for poison has been a secret. No one knows that she uses her mind-reading abilities to target men who prey on vulnerable women, men who escape the clutches of Chicago “justice.” When she meets a brilliant boy working at the morgue, his knack for forensic detail threatens to uncover her dark hobby. Meanwhile a threat to kill her father may threaten all of Chicago.
