A âmarvelously tenseâ novel of psychological suspense centered on a long-ago crime of passion, from an Edgar Awardâwinning author (Publishers Weekly, starred review). With dreams of academic greatness, Lucas Paige rose from humble and sordid beginnings to attend Harvard. But his achievements since then have been meager. In St. Louis to give yet another sparsely attended reading, he discovers a face from the past heâs tried to forget: Lola Faye Gilroy, the âother womanâ he long blamed for his fatherâs murder. Â Reluctantly, Luke joins Lola Faye for a drink. As one drink turns into several, these two battered souls relive, from their different perspectives, the most searing experience of their lives. They are transported back to the tiny southern town of Glenville, Alabama, where a violent crime of passion is turned in the light once more. As it turns out, there is much Luke doesnât know. And what he doesnât know can hurt him. Â Trapped in an increasingly intense exchange, Luke struggles to gain control and determine what Lola Faye is truly afterâbefore it is too late. Â This âdarkly powerfulâ (Kirkus Reviews) literary thriller, rich with Southern atmosphere, is âa knockoutâ (People). Â âCook continues his work as one of the best fiction writers in America.â âThe Plain Dealer |
