Burb/Synopsis:
Who is brutally murdering the male residents of the Hourglass Heights apartment complex? At first glance, it would appear that their spouses are the killers, but Detective Marcia Tanaka believes that a serial killer is responsible.
Through the course of her investigation, Detective Tanaka is pulled into a world of Japanese folklore and the supernatural as she explores the darker side of relationships, sex and psyche. She must learn to defeat her own personal demons before she can defeat one that is far more sinister.
"Hourglass Heights combines the mystery and suspense of a supernatural murder investigation with the intense sexual exploration usually found only in erotica. A harrowing and action-packed tale that revolves around my beautiful, but flawed, central character, Detective Marcia Tanaka. I've been told my approach is very direct and, at times, a brutal depiction of the many different and dark ways that people use their sexuality. "
