"Psychologist Alan Gregory is juggling his responsibility as a father, a husband, and doctor, when a beautiful woman walks into his office with an astounding admission. Gibbs Storey, whose looks turn grown men into dazzled adolescents, tells Alan that she thinks her husband, Sterling, may have murdered a woman. Blandly recounting a history of dangerous sexual encounters, Gibbs stuns Alan with another revelation: She thinks there are other victims...and that her husband is not finished killing yet.". "Struggling with a strict confidentiality agreement, Alan walks a perilous ethical line by revealing just enough to interest his detective friend, Sam Purdy, and start a search for the missing Sterling Storey and a string of innocent victims. Alarmed for Gibbs's safety, yet baffled by her strange admissions, Alan and Sam begin attacking the case from two sides. As Alan continues his sessions with Gibbs, struggling to reconcile her tales of a dark, twisted marriage with the calm, cool woman sitting before him, Sam races down south, certain he is hunting a serial killer on a last, frantic rampage. But even Sam cannot know the secrets that Gibbs Storey is still revealing to Alan Gregory, the secrets Alan is keeping to himself - or that somehow, somebody else has already heard them all."--BOOK JACKET.

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

A comfortable full-length choice for steady daily reading.

Begin with its place in Fiction, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. What does the central character want, and what do they misunderstand about that desire?
  2. Which detail or relationship changes how you interpret the story?
  3. What feeling or question does the book leave with you after the plot moves on?
