“John Waters is a man happy with his lot in life: genuine satisfaction with his growing business, contentment with the ease of family routines, and the small pleasures of watching his daughter bloom. But this happiness is hard won, and may be less stable that he would like to believe. Years earlier Waters escaped an obsessive love affair with the ravishing but disturbed Mallory Candler, a love which he feared might consume him. Mallory disappeared after Waters married, and later he heard that she had been killed in New Orleans. But now he has the uneasy feeling that the secrets they shared have resurfaced to trouble him—and to entice him—once again. A woman he meets casually stuns him with a smile, and whispers words Waters thought long forgotten. But before he can find out how this stranger is connected to his past, an act of brutal violence interrupts them and sweeps him up in a whirlwind of guilt and suspicion, revealing the shadow sides of love and friendship—and the terror that can result when passion becomes obsession.
