Bold, original new fiction from some of our greatest writers
on two irresistible subjects: sex and crime. In one
fast-paced story, a strong and aggravated man considers the
pretty woman at the bar while he fingers the knife in his
pocket. But what becomes of his prey when they move to the
bedroom? In another tale, a man remembers the victim of a
ghastly murder who visited the same hair salon as he does.
And a Don Juan of a protagonist has a hobby of marrying
vulnerable women, getting access to their bank accounts, and
then robbing them blind. But there is much more to this
collection than dark-haired vixens and crimes of passion.
Some stories are brooding, some twisted; some bring
righteous satisfaction, some linger in the back of your
mind. What is truly on display is an impressive collection
of literary talent: a group of some of the best writers we
have, weaving fresh and memorable stories from a pair of
classic themes. Taken as a whole, they are a rare treat for
fans of great fiction, whether it’s high literature, good
old-fashioned suspense, or anything in between. Original
black-and-white art by artist/author Jonathan Santlofer
completes this innovative, exciting, and irresistibly
intriguing book—a true literary gem.
