Description

THE '90s CLASSIC, FINALLY BACK IN PRINT!

"A PLAYFUL, PSYCHOLOGICAL CHESS GAME CUM MYSTERY ... STREWN WITH CLUES, RED HERRINGS, FALSE STARTS AND SUSPENSE." -- San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle

Guilt is San Francisco psychologist Joel Abramowitz's business -- and it is his second feeling after lovely, very rich Margot, his best friend's wife, confesses she loves him. His first feeling is unabashed lust. But the next morning, the lady vanishes, and then an overweight, wildly jealous patient appears at Joel's office to confess she forced Margot's car off the road. Is it the client's fantasy ... or is Margot dead? A twisted skein of love, murder and compulsion soon leads Joel Abramowitz on a frantic womanhunt through California's mad, mad world. And he certainly has his hands full, dealing with "issues" and outright lunacy -- and fearing what may reside in the shadowlands of his own desperate heart....
