Description
From the acclaimed author of Following the Summer and Affairs of Art come these stories that convey the betrayal that accompanies every love story, seek to dispel all illusion, and recommend malice as state of grace. In the end vengeance emerges -- hot, velvety, coursing with passion and blood, and, surprisingly, capable of forging the most lasting ties between people.
