Alice, Roxanne, and Del have been best friends since
childhood—a childhood full of silly games, growing pains,
and a hint of the kind of cruelty that only young girls
know. Now, Alice’s marriage is over, her husband having a
child with another woman. Roxanne, an artist, is losing
touch with everyone who cares for her—and perhaps with
reality. And Del is soldiering through, but her friends
see a dark cloud gathering in her eyes.
The instrument of their destruction is a single enigmatic
man—Varick. Seemingly summoned from the air, the strikingly
handsome
Varick is a lonely woman’s dream come true. But as Varick
seduces the women in turn, their lives become
unrecognizable to them. But where has he come from? And
what does he want? His secret lies buried in their shared
past. One simple, childish act has brought them, all these
years later, to a place where not only their lives are at
risk, but so are their souls. For once upon a time, the
three friends agreed to tell a lie—one that ruined the
life of a young priest. Defrocked, destitute, and ruined,
he hoped with the whole of his shattered heart that he
would get revenge. And in that hope he shook hands with
the one who promised it. The devil himself. Varick. And
now they all must live with the
consequences. . . .
Dark and provocative, Calling
Mr. Lonely Hearts will keep readers in its terrifying grip
long after the final, chilling page is turned.
