Sinossi
A brilliantly constructed thriller by a 26 year old Harvard law student exposing the dark side of suburbia and depicting an inconceivably chilling character in episodes of mounting horror. This is Stephen King meets Ira Levin; ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ with a background of artificial insemination.
Billy Crapshoot is an immaculate dresser who always sports a pink carnation, even in the dead of winter. He’s a cab driver. But he’s also a carjacker, a killer and an obsessive con man. He sees an ad in the paper: Sperm Donor – Fifty Dollars a sample – Inseminology Institute. "That could be easy money", he thinks, and a new con begins to form in his mind. The unwitting recipient of his sperm is Caitlin Bourke, a romantic with a blonde bob, who lives in six acres of rich suburbia and is married to a pompous man who can father a company – but not a child. They agree that she will be impregnated by artificial insemination never dreaming of the horror the conception of the misbegotten child will bring. Then Caitlin becomes obsessed with discovering the identity of the donor.
She should never have asked.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Billy Crapshoot, clean-cut, well groomed, always sports a pink carnation even in the dead of winter, legit taxi-driver, carjacker, ruthless killer but, most of all, con artist extraordinaire. Timing is his game. Make the sucker feel special. Billy embarks upon his biggest con of all: to own someone as well as something. That was the ultimate scam. Sperm donors - Fifty Dollars A sample. That could be easy money, thought Crapshoot. Caitlin Bourke, blonde bob, romantic, living in six acres of rich surburbia, married to a man who can father a company but not a child. They agree that she will be impregnated by artifical insemination. But they never dream of the horror the conception of the misbegotten child will bring. Then Caitlin becomes obsessed with discovering the identity of the donor. She should never have asked.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
