NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

At a party for a controversial Los Angeles sex therapist, Alex Delaware encounters a face from his own past--Sharon Ransom, an exquisite, alluring lover who left him abruptly more than a decade earlier. Sharon now hints that she desperately needs help, but Alex evades her. The next day she is dead, an apparent suicide.

"A complex and haunting story of tangled personalities, deeply buried family secrets, and of violence lying thinly under the surface . . . hits the reader right between the eyes."--Los Angeles Times Book Review

Driven by guilt and sadness, Alex plunges into the maze of Sharon's life--a journey that will take him through the pleasure palaces of California's ultrarich, into the alleyways of the mind, where childhood terrors still hold sway.
