It was jealousy that kept David from sleeping, drove him from a tousled bed out of the dark and silent boarding house to walk the streets...
David Kelsey has an unswerving conviction that life is going to work out for him - if he can just fix the 'Situation'. His one true love, the brilliant, beautiful Annabelle, has married another man. But that doesn't mean she doesn't still love David. Even though she's pregnant with her husband's baby, David is certain she will take him back. Under an alias, he is setting up the perfect home for the two of them in a town close by. And everything is just about going to plan, until things take a murderous turn... An addictively twisted study of obsession from the bestselling author of The Talented Mr Ripley.
