Product Description

Review

Davis (Noise Abatement, 2001, etc.) unveils her scariest hero yet: a steroid-addicted psychopath who's not only nasty but who inspires nastiness all around him. The night that Nick, body-builder and drifter, arrives in Salisbury, he mugs and rapes software engineer Ben James in a deserted park, then kills Gillian Barnes for good measure. Ben, agonized with shame and pain, can't bring himself to tell either the police or his current girlfriend, illustrator Dawn Reid, what's happened, although it's obvious to Dawn that something's gone very wrong with him. Bombarded with police descriptions of a disheveled man emerging from the park shortly after the murder and realizing that they sound just like Ben, she fingers him to the police. So Ben, who's already watched his sex life head south and gotten himself tested for AIDS, wonders in vain whether his life could get any worse. Of course it could, and it does. Meanwhile, Nick, who'd "never actually planned to kill anyone before, except his dad if he ever met him," is still on the loose, and Dawn's estranged husband, comic-book publisher Richard Reid, is succumbing to the wiles of Rachel Lane, an art student whose aggressively seductive tactics are scarcely less brutal in their way than Nick's. Though the climax is a letdown, Davis's intensity is sure to leave a bad taste in your mouth for days. (Kirkus Reviews) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars The antidote to Agatha Christie, 21 Dec 2003
By John Horn (london) - See all my reviews
Some people think crime fiction should be a cosy middle class game, an entertainment full of utterly unbelievable characters set somewhere nobody has ever lived or is likely to live.
Carol Anne Davis has been asked to write this sort of facile tosh and has always refused. Drawing on her own sometimes difficult life she is able to empathise with characters driven by raw pain and the struggle to survive in a hostile environment. She researches dilligently and the reader can trust her to provide the truth, not some candy floss to be instantly forgotten when the book is over. Although publishers seem to prefer pushing the utterly trivial at the public, those with the wit to look further than the trivial will find this an absorbing journey through the darkness which surrounds us all.
