MEDIA RELEASE

The seductive new thriller from the most glamorous woman in crime writing

COVET

"Don't judge a book by its cover girl - a fitting adage for supermodel turned mystery writer Tara Moss ..."
- Macleans Magazine

From the bestselling author of Fetish and Split comes the latest instalment in the Makedde Vanderwall series, Covet.

Eighteen months after her ordeal at the hands of the sadistic 'Stiletto Murderer', fashion model and forensic psychology student Makedde Vanderwall must confront her demons when she returns to Sydney for the trial. But just as the verdict is handed down, the unthinkable happens -- the killer makes a daring escape, aided and abetted by a twisted accomplice that no one suspected ...

Mak is terrified, and ex-boyfriend Detective Andy Flynn, who has a bad habit of employing more madness than method in his work, isn't helping. She decides to leave the country, but the press dog her every move, hindering her safe passage and unknowingly helping the Stiletto Murderer, who's busy rekindling an old fetish ... her ...

Where can she run? Who can she trust? And has she, and the police, underestimated Australia's most notorious serial killer yet again? Sharper than a Manolo four-inch heel, sexier than a Versace fashion show, and more risky than all seven deadly sins, Covet will set your pulse racing.

Tara Moss is an internationally bestselling and award-winning writer, popular public speaker and freelance journalist. She has also travelled the world working as an international fashion model, living in New York and all over Europe, catwalking for the top designers and gracing the covers of over thirty magazines as well as making a number of appearances on television.

She recently married producer, Mark Pennell, and is at work on her fourth novel.
