Items related to Sliver (Signet)
Kay Norris, a successful single woman of thirty-nine, moves into the posh Carnegie Hill district of Manhattan's Upper East Side, into an apartment in a slender high rise, a "sliver" building. A man watches her. He watches her unpack, watches her make her bed. He owns the building; a shocking secret is concealed within its brick and concrete. Sliver is a novel about ultimate power, and the temptations the use of that power brings. With ice cold precision, Levin, the author of Rosemary's Baby and The Stepford Wives, creates a mesmerizing story that culminates in a scene of electrifying suspense.

About the Author:
Ira Levin was the internationally bestselling author of Rosemary's Baby, A Kiss Before Dying, The Boys from Brazil, This Perfect Day, Sliver, and The Stepford Wives. Mr. Levin also wrote "Deathtrap," the longest running thriller in Broadway history. He was a two-time winner of the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Allen Poe Award. He died in 2007.
Review:
“Sliver is the ultimate fin de siecle horror novel, a fiendish good-bye wave to trendy urban living in the last decade of the twentieth century. Mr. Levin has in Sliver created the apartment dweller’s worst nightmare. As always, his characters have a texture and a reality that’s almost eerie, and the narrative is as stripped-down and efficient as an automatic weapon.” (Stephen King)
“Levin's latest thriller, Sliver, is as successful a page-turner as his first, A Kiss Before Dying, thirty-eight years ago. Ira Levin never gets serious, he just gets better. Grade: A.” (Entertainment Weekly)
