Blackwater Tango

Back Cover Text

Gena Hollender has a new life. She is in private practice as a psychologist, is renovating an old brownstone in Manhattan, and is becoming an expert on raising exotic plants. But an innocent question — how do you feel — can send her into mind-numbing shock. And now she's been having visions of a dark-haired young woman who is slowly dying.

Then a call from her former colleague, Detective Marcus Valenzuela with the Portland Police Department, pulls her back to her old life. The life as a profiler on a team of investigators pursuing the murders of several young women in Maine — apparent victims of serial killer Victor Trikonis.

After an exhausting five-year chase, Trikonis eluded capture. But Gena learns that the body of a young woman has been found folded into a submerged lobster trap off Monhegan Island in Maine. The details — no clothing from the waist down and no evidence of sexual assault — is Victor's signature.

Gena goes to an emergency meeting of the old team in Portland only to find that each participant was actually called by Trikonis — a brilliant psychologist expert at the manipulation of his subjects. Gena's dread is palpable. She wavers between instincts of fight or flight. But when bodies start turning up with alarming frequency, she decides she must end Trikonis's reign of terror even if her own life is the prize he seeks.

Blackwater Tango is an intense, edge of your seat thriller by new author, Lisa Polisar.
