About this ebook
The debut novel from the author of The Lost Van Gogh—first in the Kate McKinnon series. "A unique spin on the too-familiar serial killer thriller." — Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
A killer is preying on New York's art community, creating gruesome depictions of famous paintings, using human flesh and blood as his media. Terror stalks this world of genius, greed, inspiration, and jealousy—a world Kate McKinnon knows all too well. A former NYPD cop who traded in her badge for a PhD in art history, Kate can see the method behind the psychopath's madness—for the grisly slaughter of a former protégé is drawing her into the predator's path. And as each new murder exceeds the last in savagery, Kate is trapped in the twisted obsessions of the death artist, who plans to use her body, her blood, and her fear to create the ultimate masterpiece.
" The Death Artist is stylish, scary, and very, very smart. Jonathan Santlofer's thriller really thrills." —Susan Isaacs, New York Times–bestselling author
"Chilling." — USA Today
"A roller coaster of violence [and] betrayal." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Brisk . . . inventive . . . compelling." — The Washington Post Book World
"The exploration of the psychology of the death artist, along with gossipy insights into the politics of art, make this book a bloody funfest." — Publishers Weekly
