Thriller
''How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a
thankless child'' --King Lear, William Shakespeare This famed quote by William Shakespeare finds its modern
meaning in this taut, fast-paced, remarkable novel by
renowned author Warren Adler. The Serpent's Bite will take
you on a frightening horse trek through the far reaches of
the Yellowstone wilderness that turns a father s quest to
deal with parental guilt and reunite with his two adult
children into a nightmare of lust, betrayal, entrapment, and
death. Beyond the revelations of dark family secrets,
readers will discover how an obsession for celebrity and
blind ambition can distort familial love and turn a beloved
child into a grotesque monster. Courtney Temple is sure to
be judged as one of those most evil women in fiction,
alongside the likes of Lady Macbeth, Medea, and the Wicked
Witch of the West. Adler's latest novel takes its place next
to the iconic The War of the Roses, in which the author
exposed the true nature of marital dysfunction.
