Back by popular demand - from booksellers:
A sexy, suspenseful novel in which a young writer's
encounters with a jaded publisher prove that good
conversation can be very dangerous... Overlooked by critics on its initial release in 2006, this
erotically charged mystery has nonetheless continued to
develop such a following among booksellers that Melville
House has decided to re- release it in a stunning new package. As for the story that’s earning such loyalty: it’s a
whip-smart con-versation between Stella, a vivacious,
aspiring writer and Bohemian eco-activist, and Edward Prain,
a refined connoisseur of the rare books on hand in Stella’s
fusty London bookstall. While Prain is mysteriously aloof about his background,
Stella finds his insights into art more and more
stimulating, until one rainy afternoon she makes a
surprising discovery: Prain is the head of England’s most
prestigious publishing house and a leading collector of art.
And now, he would like her to come to tea at his country
estate... to discuss her writing. Stella is too intrigued to say no. Yet their cat-and-mouse
game only intensifies at his sumptuous estate, where she
finds herself engaged in an increasingly devilish
conversation on the making of art, the selling of art, and
the protection of self until Prain reveals that he knows
more about her past than he has ever let on....
