One of our Debuts of the Year 2011.
March 2011 Debut of the Month.
What do you think the morning after you have done something reckless, dangerous and demeaning but at the same time edgy, exciting and - it has to be said - sexy? How do you cope with the normality and rigidity of your public service job? How do you reconcile yourself to your own contradictory behaviour?
And how can you regret what you have done yet at the same time yearn to do it again and again, especially as what you are doing becomes increasingly dangerous? If half of you wants to live on a sexual knife-edge but the other half doesn't dare, then read this intelligent, introspective, compelling, compulsive book. What are you capable of?
From their first encounter, late one night in an underground car park, a woman is intoxicated by a stranger who seems to overwhelm her quiet life. Despite her better instincts, she cannot help being drawn into a sexually charged and highly volatile relationship. Soon she is driven to the extremes of pleasure – and finally, on a cold and eerie night, has to face up to her fate.
