Thriller Psychological | Suspense
The author of Twenty-Seven Bones and The
Girls He Adored delivers another nailbiting thriller
featuring former FBI agent E. L. Pender. Breathtaking and
suspenseful, yet leavened with a perverse and quirky
humor, When She Was Bad examines the terrifying
relationship between two hot young lovers who also happen
to be coldblooded killers. "Multiples in love:
imagine the possibilities," said one of the twisted
couple's earlier victims. Lily DeVries and Ulysses Maxwell
have quite a few things in common. Both were horrifically
abused as children, then diagnosed with multiple
personality disorder, and eventually incarcerated in the
same Oregon mental institution. There, they fell into the
hands of the well-meaning, genially sinister director, Dr.
Al. When the ingenious lovers engineer a bloody
escape, the only people who have a chance of stopping them
are the rumpled, endearingly flawed E. L. Pender and Dr.
Irene Cogan, a brilliant psychiatrist who loves Lily
almost as much as she fears Maxwell. With the aid of a
private investigator, Pender and Cogan take on a pair of
killers who win hearts as easily as they slit
throats. A sexually charged thriller of undeniable
originality and page-turning suspense, When She Was
Bad moves at a rapid clip from the inner recesses of
two twisted psyches to a terrifying climax and brilliantly
realized finale. Emotionally taut and difficult to
put down, this tale of sex, romance, madness, and murder
will not disappoint.
