The new compelling noir novel from the author of the bestselling The Horse Latitudes - his most suspenseful novel yet
A single-hit ex-rock star, Nick Carbonne has settled into a comfortable married life in a scruffy-but-chic section of southern California. When a former friend and fellow band member shows up unannounced with his hot girlfriend, Alison, old memories and older jealousies are stirred. But Nick in no way anticipates how his life will be shaken when he returns home with Alison to find his wife and friend naked in his hot tub and oh-so-dead. With an unerring sense for character and for haunting dark secrets, Robert Ferrigno creates a living hell in which Nick and Alison take turns as both suspects and targets.
Born to Italian-American parents, Robert Ferrigno spent his twenties playing poker for a living in Seattle, before moving to California to become a journalist. He is the author of three other novels - The horse Latitudes, The Cheshire Moon and Dead Man's Dance.
