Annotation:
The apple doesn't fall very far from the tree in this suspenseful debut from the son of acclaimed thriller writers Faye and Jonathan Kellerman. After Gloria Mendez's employer (and unrequited love), Carl Perreira, fails to return from his annual trip to Mexico, the secretary takes it upon herself to go look for him--or at the very least, recover his body. In the process Gloria learns that she didn't know as much about Carl as she thought she did, and her miscalculation may prove fatal.

"[A] superb debut thriller about love, lust, vengeance, murder and a good girl coping....Funny, exciting and stylishly written--a delicious tour de force not to be missed." (starred review) 12/01/2005Entertainment Weekly
"[A] wonderful portrait of a woman who experiences intimacies solely in her mind. It's a slow-burning, sunbaked noir treat." - Gilbert Cruz 01/20/2006 New York Times Book Review
"Jesse Kellerman may be the son of two bestselling authors, Faye and Jonathan Kellerman, but this is the first and last time I'll identify him that way--because he's a keen storyteller who writes in a style that's boldly his own." - Marilyn Stasio 01/08/2006 |
