Synopses & Reviews
From the highly praised author of The Whiteness of Bones and Sleeping Beauties comes a stunning erotic thriller.
We hear the wry, brazenly honest voice of an intelligent, self-determined woman living alone in New York City. She has chosen a private, if unsheltered, life and is utterly unprepared for the danger that awaits her.
In the aftermath of a particularly gruesome murder in her neighborhood, she finds herself in the grip of an unfamiliar, mounting terror. She propels herself into a risky sexual liaison, as if to test the limits of her own safety. And by the time a second murder occurs, her darkest suspicions already may have been overwhelmed by the darker desires she has discovered in herself.
Susanna Moore has created a brilliantly terrifying and haunting story.
