Publisher's summary

Is James Madison a creator? Or predator?
Discover the dark secrets of Glen Cove, a luxurious five-star resort in Northern Florida, in Andy Stone's latest thriller. The Artist. Glen Cove has a mysterious new resident intent on creating beautiful works of art using grueling techniques. He is one of the world's most famous artists, but how he accomplishes his work is exceptionally gruesome.
He is constantly chasing love, but what was it? Is it a chemical reaction to propagate the species? It was like the law of diminishing returns. Once you have enough, you don't want anymore—the same thing with sex. Once you had your fill and were satiated, you didn't want a second helping, so you looked for new sources. To maintain that feeling of arousal, the perpetrator strives to keep it, but it eventually fades away. He meets a girl, and it is the initial intensity of arousal, but he gets angry at her because it subsides. It is her fault that he can't love for all time. But he has his way. He has to preserve her so that she can remain this way forever.
Many famous artists are worldwide, but James Madison is one of the most famous. He sculpts nudes that appear so natural that he can easily fool you into thinking they're human. James wants them to be part of his family and never leave him, but if needed, he finds them good homes, unlike when he was a child. He lived in a very dysfunctional family. His father, who beat him and put him down constantly, would sit in his old lounger, beer in hand, and cough from his emphysema with a cigarette hanging from his lips.
Richard and Summer, two new residents, are asked to join this secret society, and soon discover that it is more than just a place of wealth and power. Stone's latest novel will surely enthrall readers with a thrilling plot and unique antagonist. If you enjoyed Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, you'll love this compelling mystery.

What a refreshing book. Very unusual but in a good way. I loved it. Be warned, it is about serial killers and how one artist approaches it. I was not expecting the ending. It was a pure twist. If you want the ride of your life, enjoy this book. I know everybody says this, but you will be up all night.
