Thriller Crime
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.
