A stage thriller from the 2007 TSC New Play Festival and the Edgar Award-winning author of Matter of Intent: Criminal psychology professor Marcus Micheaux and his mystery writer wife Beverly Hatcher have the perfect life-until condemned serial killer Gunther Creel, whom Marcus interviewed extensively for his research, paints a portrait of them. After Creel's execution the painting gradually begins to change-and so do Marcus and Beverly, until, along with their closest friends, they are entangled in a widening web of betrayal, madness, and murder.
