Product Description
Guardian
'Kellerman is the son of hugely successful crime writers Jonathan
and Faye Kellerman, and I only hope that parental pride outweighs their
professional jealousy, because he can thrill the socks off both of them.
He's already an award winning playwright, and this is his second thriller,
full of exceptional, literate writing that still manages to crackle with
tension and menace as a noose tightens around poor Jonah's neck. The best
thriller I have read since Kellerman's Sunstroke last year' --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Sunday Telegraph
'Fulfils the promise of his debut last year with a mesmerising story of
malevolence and obsession... powerfully descriptive prose drives his
nightmarish narrative on at a fast pace and makes Fatal Attraction seem
like a gentle teasing in comparison' --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars BE CAREFUL WHO YOU RESCUE, 6 Feb 2007
By Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   



Trouble in River City wasn't even a minor irritation compared to what third year medical student Jonah Stem found in the small hours of the morning on a sidewalk in New York City. He's seriously sleep deprived, stressed, and just wants rest. Nonetheless, when he hears a woman scream and finds her being attacked he doesn't hesitate.

Without thinking Jonah intervenes, but in trying to fend off her knife wielding attacker the knife somehow ends up in the attacker's throat. Jonathan has killed a man. But, that's okay as he saved the woman, Eve, and he's suddenly the Big Apple's hero of the day - "superdoc" who risked his neck to save another.

Well, being a hero isn't so great after all due to the ragging he gets from his superiors, the unwanted media attention, and the hatred of the dead man's family. As if his life hadn't already been turned upside down a grateful Eve unexpectedly shows up at this apartment. You can guess what's coming here - before long they're engaged in a hot affair. Well, perhaps "hot" isn't accurate as Eve has some pretty painful, perverse ideas about sex. This is one wanton woman. Sadomasochism is her thing and she wants Jonah on a silver platter (as well as on a hospital desk). Descriptions of their encounters are not for those with tender ears.

Jonah never bargained for any of this and seems unaware that he is being manipulated, pushed to the brink of madness. However, Eve is one of the most frightening females in recent literary creation and she's not about to let him go.

- Gail Cooke
