When Amos Roberts falls agonizingly and inexplicably dead, David Stavitsky, chief of homicide finds himself face to face with a real mystery - an "impossible" killing. All the evidence points to the quietly withdrawn research physician Dr. Jennifer List Gilbert, yet how could this fragile woman kill a heavily armed man without leaving a mark on his body?

Stavitsky pursues Jennifer, his initial curiosity turning into an obsession. Nothing can stop him from finding out everything he can about her. And everything he uncovers deepens his confusion. Jennifer has almost no friends. Although she is married her husband seems remote, and despite her vast wealth, she lives modestly - somehow unreached and unreachable. But Stavitsky begins to sense her aloneness, and he finds himself beginning to love this strange woman almost as much as he fears her.

Ultimately Stavitsky's compulsion to unravel her dangerous secret leads to a final confrontation in which hunter and hunted meet as lover-antagonists in a harrowing struggle for survival. The Killing Gift is a bizarre love story with a unique psychic twist."
