A dark, brooding Gothic tale of love, perversion, suspense and murder set in modern-day Atlanta, this poetic novel by a reclusive woman who avoids all social interaction, will intrigue you beyond your expectations. Based loosely on an actual account, it tells the story of a man so in love with a woman that he refuses to accept her death. His denial of reality forces those around him into an aberrant world of bizarre and disturbing interactions and consequences. This novel compels you to the end, defying you to put it down unfinished.
