Within a few weeks, Adam is on the verge of losing his girlfriend, his sense of identity and - as he plays amateur detective in the hope that stopping a serial rapist will set everything to right - maybe even his life. ". . . supremely sleazy and adroitly suspenseful thriller. . . Barsotti keeps the accelerator to the floorboards for the whole nasty ride." - Paul Di Filippo, award-winning author of The Big Get Even "It's dark, but don't get fooled - there are tons of great lines and laugh-out loud moments. . . a page turning thriller with sharp, well-crafted prose and tough decisions. . ."
