Synopsis

Haunted by a family legacy of abuse and murder and the breakup of a relationship, Nathaniel Follows meets the beautiful, vulnerable, and scarred Susan Hartford.

After sharing a night together, and experiencing her decadent lifestyle, he is drawn into a web of lies. When she commits suicide before his very eyes, he wonders what role he has played in her death, and grows obsessed with finding the answer. Struggling against a heritage of cruelty, Nathaniel becomes wedged between the police and the forces lurking behind Susan's death.

About this title

From Library Journal:

Nathaniel Follows Jr., an emotionally distraught Long Island crime novelist, narrates this affecting look at a mixed-up young woman's suicide. Nathaniel's compulsion to investigate Susan's death may have some connection to his brother's conviction as a serial child killer. Piccirilli marks the plot with bizarre twists, singular images, and dark emotion. Very good prose, memorably detailed. Recommended.
