| Summary: | "A perfect page-turner . . . Books this well written and involving don't come along often. . . . Peter Abrahams is my favorite American suspense novelist." -- Stephen King An unfaithful wife. A cheating lover. A loyal friend. A jealous husband. In this stunning thriller, four lives hang in precarious balance -- as a cunning killer prepares their roles in A Perfect Crime. Distraught by a failing marriage, Francie Cullingwood enters into a secret affair with charismatic radio psychologist Ned Demarco. But what seems like a refuge takes a decidedly dark turn. For when the liaison is discovered, a seething, enraged genius begins to construct the perfect, flawless murder, manipulating Francie, her lover, and her best friend like chess pieces in a lethal game. But even the most brilliant mind can make mistakes. And soon the intricate plan is spinning wildly out of control -- in shocking, fatal directions. . . . Praise for A Perfect Crime "Abrahams gets the human dimensions just right. . . . Each stage of this perverse puzzle has been constructed with deadly artistry." -- The New York Times Book Review "A first-rate psychological thriller . . . a plot filled with Machiavellian maneuvers and subtle irony . . . Drawing the reader unrelentingly through the chain of events, this novel is a must-read." -- The Denver Post "Abrahams has written more than a crime story here. His prose is elegant by any literary standard. . . . Abrahams grips us so closely, line by line, making everything hyper-real." -- Los Angeles Times "A Perfect Crime is a perfect read -- a novel of malice and retribution that crackles from page one like a live wire." -- New York Times bestselling author Michael PalmerFrom the Hardcover edition. |
