A shattering erotic thriller about an elite couple explores the dark obsessions they harbor and the double lives they lead, as a stranger attempts to ensnare the entire family, turn them against one another, and lead them into a web of blackmail, betrayal, and murder. Reprint.Amazon.com ReviewCharles Maclean runs a farm and an inn in his native Scotland, and once every few years he writes a terrific thriller like this one. It's about a woman whose seemingly perfect life of luxury is really a ruin of deception and abuse. An attempt to escape with her son--traumatized into total silence--leads her into more trouble than she could have ever imagined. Hitchcock would have loved it.
