"A smashing serial-killer thriller that embraces all the conventions of the genre while adding several page-turning twists of its own" - Publishers Weekly
"A classic of the suspense genre, an obsessive read with a genuinely sinister central character" - The London Times
In order to mask an office affair, Ruth Lasseter must bring an escort to the company dance - someone who can play the paramour with convincing precision. Though Tim Hagan seems wistful and sweet, beneath his polite veneer lies a rage as deep as the ocean, and a conflict as sharp as a dagger. He needs a woman to save him from his gruesome past - and those who fail will simply become part of it.
