I've read it (and a review should be forthcoming in MYSTERY
SCENE).
Essentially, this is one nasty ride that eventually devolves
into an even nastier game of, well, sex, violence and people
who need a lot of therapy. (I'm trying not to give too much
away).
I'm not sure if it's a great book, or even if I'd highly
recommend it, but I can't get it out of my head. I couldn't
put it down when I was reading it, and couldn't put it down
fast enough when I'd finished.
