The sheltered bride. A beautiful bride's glorious trip down the aisle is cut short by a sniper's bullet. The crime has stunned the city and baffled NYPD detective April Woo. The sweet, modest eighteen-year-old virgin couldn't have had an enemy in the world. The selfish bride. Under the magnificent steeples of St. Patrick's Cathedral, a posh society wedding ends in the same horror. Rich and spoiled, the second bride shares only one thing with the victim before her: getting caught in the crosshairs of a madman's gun.

The silent bride. What links the startling crimes? Who's next to die? With the wedding of April's friend fast approaching, April and homicide specialist Mike Sanchez sift through the evidence for clues to the killer's identity. But they have to work fast. Because the mysterious motive-and the next target-are becoming dangerously clear.
