Lindy Grady is a woman who has always lived two separate lives. By day, she's a detective with the NYPD's homicide division. But - haunted by a brutal childhood and unable to commit to any man - she fills her nights with singles bars, drink, drugs, and sex with strangers. Except when violent incidents start breaking out all over Manhattan and people begin dying strange deaths near to Central Park, she's forced to recognize an awful new reality. Something very dangerous has arrived in the city, something paranormal, drawn there by the smell of easy pickings. And when she starts to be victimized, she has no choice but to face up to the truth. She's been seduced by the darkness and then drawn into a deadly game, is easy meat herself. And she and everyone she cares about is now in mortal danger.
