When Melissa Cohen was 18 a cruel attack ruined her dream of becoming a psychiatrist. Ever since, she's been unwilling to commit to any relationship or career. She's been a soldier in the Israeli army, an Israeli federal agent, a Miami police officer and a forensic photographer. Now 38, she's a successful paparazzi photographer. For 20 years Melissa assumed her attackers didn't know her identity. But one does. Dying from the mysterious Burning-Heart Virus, he confesses to her, naming his accomplices. He doesn't tell the others who she is, but he tells them she knows their names now-except for one, a sadist they only know as Spider. As Spider begins killing off witnesses, she races to discover his identity before he discovers hers. The skills she learned at her former jobs fall into place as if she'd been unconsciously training for this hunt all along. But Melissa isn't out to kill. This would-be psychiatrist has had a long time to think about rape, and she has a cure. And she has the perfect test subject in her sights.

Adam Smith (1723-1790) was a Scottish economist and philosopher, considered the father of modern economics. His work falls within the essay and economic philosophy, highlighting his analysis of the free market and the division of labor. He studied at the University of Glasgow and Oxford, developing ideas that would influence economic liberalism.

Among his main works is An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), known as The Wealth of Nations, a fundamental treatise in classical economics. He also wrote The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759), where he explores ethics and human sympathy. His legacy remains fundamental in current economic and political thought.
