A "marvelously tense" novel of psychological suspense centered on a long-ago crime of passion, from an Edgar Award-winning author (Publishers Weekly, starred review).With dreams of academic greatness, Lucas Paige rose from humble and sordid beginnings to attend Harvard. But his achievements since then have been meager. Arriving in St. Louis to give yet another sparsely attended reading, he happens upon a face from the past he’s tried to forget: Lola Faye Gilroy, the "other woman" he long blamed for his father’s murder.Reluctantly, Luke joins Lola Faye for a drink. As one drink turns into several, these two battered souls relive, from their different perspectives, the most searing experience of their lives. They are transported back to the tiny southern town of Glenville, Alabama, where a violent crime of passion is brought to light once more. As it happens, there is much Luke doesn’t know. And what he doesn’t know can hurt him. Trapped in an increasingly intense exchange, Luke struggles to gain control and determine what Lola Faye is truly after-before it’s too late.This "darkly powerful" (Kirkus Reviews) literary thriller, rich with Southern atmosphere, is "a knockout" (People)."Cook continues his work as one of the best fiction writers in America." -The Plain Dealer
