Synopsis

She was on his sofa, reading a book. She was a complete stranger.

And she was naked...

Her name was Zoe, and she had survived a horrific ordeal.

Fleeing from trouble and the threat of death, Zoe turned to her best friend, Helen. Driving for three days straight, she arrived cold and hungry on Helen’s doorstep.

But Helen was at work. Leaving Helen’s husband, John, and Zoe together...all alone.

Having escaped from a life of terror and violence, Zoe was sure she could hide out with them for a while. Just long enough to get back on her feet and her life in order again.

John’s only mistake was to agree she could stay with them...

Because Zoe’s past was fast catching up with her.

And that past would draw them all into a game of life and death.

By letting her stay, John had no idea of the horror that would be visited on them all...

For someone had a game to finish – a game that could turn very deadly indeed.

LOVE LIES DYING

You always love,
The ones you hurt...

Review:

"Love Lies Dying is a disturbing, twisted, sexually-charged dark ride of suspense." - Douglas Clegg, author of Naomi, USA "Gerlach has created a tense, tightly-written, and terrifying suspense novel. Fans of Ketchum, Laymon, and Slade won't want to pass this one by. Love Lies Dying truly does leave the reader on the edge of their seat. I challenge you to try putting this one down once you've started it!" - Brian Keene, Multiple Bram Stoker Award Nominated Author of No Rest For The Wicked, 4X4, and More Than Infinity. "LLD is a desperate journey with plenty of masochistic and violent detours along the way." - Cemetery Dance Magazine, Issue 51, USA "With Love Lies Dying, Steve Gerlach gives us a page-turning psychological thriller of bizarre twists and never-to-be-forgotten characters. Truly a terrific read." - Rain Graves, author of Blood of a Black Bird and The Gossamer Eye, USA "LLD's lead female character, Zoe, is one of the most intriguing and beguiling femme fatale antagonists in recent genre fiction." - Cemetery Dance Magazine, Issue 51, USA "A terrific read (with the lights on)!" - The Spook Magazine, USA "LLD is a spare and fast-paced novel - erotically-charged, bizarre and horrifying - drenched in gut-wrenching suspense and sexual savagery." - Cemetery Dance Magazine, Issue 51, USA "Love Lies Dying has a terrifying premise." - Shadow Writer, UK "Gerlach possesses a one-of-a-kind style, a singular voice of clipped sentences that pulls you along and at each chapter break leaves you hungering for more." - Brent Zirnheld, author of Mercy Kills, USA
