From the author of The Good Life: He was always destructive—and now his sudden death will bring even more danger and chaos to those who knew him . . . When the body of social worker Dermot Carine is discovered in a hotel room, the ripples of suspicion start to spread in many directions. There's Trina, a psychology professor who has a habit of crashing weddings, picking up men, and drinking to a state of oblivion. There's a prominent surgeon and his wife, who both have a motive, as well as an obsession with Trina. Then there's Laura, who'd been Dermot's client as a teenager and who had a relationship with Dermot that pushed the boundaries of professionalism. Dermot's sister has come to town searching for answers. But before the killer is identified, long-held secrets will threaten to break apart families, ruin marriages, and leave more than one person dead . . .
Scott Snyder’s protagonists inhabit a playfully deranged fictional world in which a Wall Street trader can find himself armed with a speargun, guarding a Dumpster outside a pawnshop in Florida; or an employee at Niagara Falls (his job: watching for jumpers) will take off in a car after a blimp in which his girlfriend has escaped. But in Snyder’s wondrous imagination there’s a thin membrane between the whimsical and the disturbing: the unlikely affair between a famous actress—in hiding after surgery—and a sporting goods salesman takes an ominous turn just as she begins to heal; an engaged couple’s relationship is fractured when one of them becomes obsessed with an inmate at the women’s prison next door. Dark, funny, powerful, this debut collection underscores the remarkable gifts of a fiercely original young writer.
