But as life leads the two down different paths, Guyβs obsessive love takes a murderous turn. Convinced that Leonoraβs respectable family has conspired against him, Guy struggles to extricate himself from a complex web of half-truths and artful liesβwith a hit manβs bullet.Β With expert pacing and rich characterization, Rendell artfully constructs an ever-widening spiral of paranoia and desire.
