The Cold Room by J T Ellison
Homicide detective Taylor Jackson thinks she's seen it all in Nashville -- but she's never seen anything as perverse as The Conductor. Once his victim is captured, he contains her in a glass coffin, slowly starving her to death. Only then does he give in to his attraction. Later, he creatively disposes of the body by reenacting scenes from famous paintings. Strangely, similar macabre works are being displayed in Europe. Taylor teams up with her fiance, FBI profiler Dr. John Baldwin, and New Scotland Yard detective James Memphis Highsmythe -- a haunted man who has eyes only for Taylor -- to put an end to The Conductor's art collection. Has the killer gone international? Or are there dueling artists, competing to create the ultimate masterpiece? Fusing gritty cop drama with dark psychological thriller, Ellison distinguishes herself with exceptional character development, consistently breakneck pacing and a sense of authenticity. - Chicago TribuneShe is a graduate of Randolph-Macon Woman's College and received her master's degree from George Washington University.
