Critically praised for creating multidimensional heroes as well as searing story lines, Kellerman forges into new territory with "Moon Music," claiming the glitter city of Las Vegas as her own.Called in to investigate the mutilation murder of a young showgirl, Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe is struck by the case's dreaded similarities to a horrendous slaying done by an anonymous monster dubbed "the Bogeyman." Even in a city known for its excesses, this crime is particularly shocking because of the animalistic destruction of the body. A loner with a love of justice, Poe immerses himself in the horrific case, forming a team consisting of the handsome detective Stephen Jensen, his colleague but not a friend; Detective Patricia Deluca, a homicide newcomer; and forensic pathologist Rukmani Kalil, who is also Poe's part-time, unorthodox girlfriend. From the start, the team is mired in a web of intrigue. And the urgency of resolution becomes frenzied when another body is found in the desert.
