Thriller Legal | Suspense
You want to know what deceit tastes like?
It's sweet. Like honey. Charged with electricity. Laced with
amnesia. It's why adultery will never go out of fashion, why
sincerity fails, why sex with strangers is more fun than
ever it ought to be. It is the very taste of old love
reclaimed, which might be the sweetest deceit of all.
There's nothing easier—or more
dangerous—than falling into bed with an old lover.
Especially when you're Victor Carl. Once upon a
time, Victor was engaged to a woman named Julia. She was
beautiful and elegant and not the kind of woman to end up
with a second-rate lawyer on the edge of insolvency. Victor
always assumed she'd burn him, and she did. Now
she's back, trailing an expensive perfume that reeks of
trouble. Julia's husband has been murdered, her
fingerprints are all over the crime scene, and $1.7 million
in cash is missing. Julia is suddenly in desperate need of a
fall guy. Is that why she turns up on Victor's doorstep on
the night of the murder, with her lipstick fresh and her
heels high? It's all enough to make Victor doubt the healing
power of love. But in Victor's world lust trumps
reason seven days a week. As he reaches for his old lover,
he convinces himself that Julia truly wants to make amends
for the past, that they might have a future together, and
that the Beatles were right—all you need is love. Until two
cops troop into his apartment and start fingering Victor for
the murder. Suddenly, Victor Carl, a man who has
spent a lifetime making bad decisions for the worst reasons,
is no longer fighting to rekindle a lost love. He's fighting
to save his life.
