A talented painter in her early thirties, Paris Sweeney has achieved enviable success: her work sells at an exclusive New York City gallery, and her popularity is at an all-time high. Life is good, and Sweeney, as she prefers to be called, is content.
But lately, her dreamslush, vivid, and drenched in vibrant huesseem to echo a growing restlessness that has taken hold of her. Impulsively, Sweeney falls into a night of intense passion with millionaire Richard Worth, followed by a creative frenzy she can barely recall. Her creativity takes a dark turn when she discovers that she has rendered a disturbing image: a graphic murder scene. Against her better instincts, she returns to the canvas time and again, filling out each chilling detail piece by piece. But when a shattering, real-life murder mirrors her creation, Sweeney falls under suspicion. With every stroke of her brush, she risks incriminating herself with her inexplicable knowledge of a deadly crime. And every desire, including her hunger for Richard, is loaded with uncertainty as Sweeney races to unmask a killer.
