Then another woman's shot execution style; three bullets in the back of her head leave her husband with a profitable business. He's got an alibi too. As the body count builds, Alex and Milo make the horrible realization that they're dealing with a diabolically manipulative killer intent on playing the most twisted and bloodiest kind of game with the cops -- and with Milo, specifically.

      Fascinujúce príbehy z pera majstrov napínavého čítania, ktorí dali dokopy celý hárem nebezpečných žien každého druhu. Publishers Weekly Ani Hitchcock by nezostavil lepší výber. Times Literary Supplement Najnebezpečnejšie ženy sú tie neodolateľné. Niekedy si žena svoju moc jasne uvedomuje, inokedy nemá o nej ani tušenia. Jedna ju použije ako nabrúsenú zbraň, druhá ako záchranný pás. Nebezpečné ženy s nami boli od úsvitu čias. Muži kvôli nim zabíjajú, zrádzajú vlasť, vzdávajú sa trónu a berú si život. No niekedy za to tieto ženy stoja. Mnohí detektívi vedia o nebezpečných ženách svoje. Ale ani Sherlock Holmes, ani Nero Wolfe nikdy nestretli nebezpečné ženy, aké sa vyskytujú na stránkach tejto knihy. Boli by z nich zhrození, ale dozaista aj fascinovaní. Autori zastúpení v tejto zbierke príbehov dokázali, že aj oni vedia ponúknuť širokú škálu typov femme fatale.
