Review
"Stealthy as a desert wind and as deadly as a knife." -- Lee Child
"Richly painted, viciously paced.... Rice skillfully reveals a labyrinth of deadly secrets and horrifying surprises." -- Gregg Hurwitz, bestselling author of The Crime Writer
Synopsis
Christopher Rice breaks into the mainstream with his most powerful novel to date. Obsession, fantasy and nightmare collide in a harrowingly brilliant suspense thriller from the son of the legendary Anne Rice. 25-year-old journalist Adam Murphy is chasing a career-breaking story when he is abruptly fired by the magazine that employs him. Scarred by the failure of a recent relationship, he finds himself set adrift in the city of West Hollywood, where he meets mystery novelist James Wilton, a man whose life has been marked by bestsellerdom, fame and murder. Within days of joining Wilton's personal staff, Adam learns that his former lover has vanished without a trace and that his disappearance matches several other recent missing persons cases. Adam and Wilton begin to suspect a serial killer is preying on the city's young gay men and decide to investigate. But the truth is being guarded by a diabolical force neither man could have imagined and they explore paths of vengeance, murder and sexual perversion from the mansionstrung Hollywood Hills to the drug-ravaged plains of California's Central Valley.
It is an investigation that will threaten not only their unlikely friendship, but their lives."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
