Weep for me

About the book

She moved up along the couch, put her hands on my shoulder and forced me back. She looked intently down into my face. A long strand of the dark hair swung below her cheek. When Kyle Cameron meets temptation—in the memorable shape of Emily, the new girl at the bank—his life changes. He thought he would be trapped behind bronze bars, chained to a suburban bungalow, but now he had won out: a strange, lovely woman, a fortune, and the strength to murder to keep what he had won. But, gripped by sexual obsession, he enters a world where he will never feel safe again. He puts himself in the hands and the plans of a woman who craves the contents of a very special suitcase from which even the prospect of death won't free her. And when a brutal fate pulls them into its shadows, they have known the extremes of love and hate—and neither of them is welcome any more. In this powerful novel, John D MacDonald explores how our passions can provoke a chain of events to trap us. It is a story that challenges us to recognize the narrow line that draws our illusion of self-control.
