Contrary Pleasure is one of many classic novels from John D. MacDonald, the beloved author of Cape Fear and the Travis McGee series, now available as an eBook.
Sin casts a long shadow . . . and touches the innocent along with the guilty in this powerful, probing novel. For generations the Delevan family has reflected only the best of everything: wealth, position, influence, the kind of good looks that only money can buy. No one would dare suspect that their glittering facade and cherished privacy mask forbidden lusts, furtive pleasures, and twisted dreams. But it's only a matter of time before the dark secrets the Delevans have been hiding from the world--and from each other--erupt with a fury. And when they do, the aftermath could destroy them all.
Features a new Introduction by Dean Koontz
