Romeo: A Novel

Romeo is a professional sickie who makes Hannibal Lector look like a rank amateur. He is a brilliantly manipulative seducer who plays on the sexual fantasies of San Francisco's powerful, smart women and then kills them. After having his way with psychiatrist Melanie Rosen, he turns his attention to her sister, Sarah, who goes along with his increasingly violent requests because she thinks she can solve Melanie's murder. Elise Title vaults into the ranks of Minette Walters and Tami Hoag with her assured grip on our nerve endings.
