Hardback. Condizione: Good. In this masterpiece of psychological suspense (second only, perhaps, to Ms. Wright's Edgar-winning The Suspect), the real villain is self-delusion; it inflicts more damage than even the craziest serial-killer. In the case of Emma O'Brea, the delusions concern her marriage: When her husband Charlie disappears it quickly becomes apparent that Emma was the only person in Canada who didn't recognize how desperate he had been to leave. And then there's Eddie Addison, an overgrown delivery boy, far from the sharpest knife in the drawer, and obsessed - dangerously obsessed - with a pretty young student. Eddie and Emma would seem to have little in common, but when Inspector Karl Alberg is called in to solve the riddle of Charlie's vanishing act, the two sets of disturbing delusions begin to converge, with a climax that even the canniest reader is unlikely to see coming.…

Alberg is taking some time away from the office when a neighbor asks him for help. Emma O'Brea is a devoted wife whose husband has mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind every one of his prized possessions, including his gun. As Alberg begins to investigate, he begins to feel that this marriage was not all wine and roses - and that Emma O'Brea may have other reasons for wanting her husband found. Meanwhile, across town, drugstore delivery man Eddie Addison inadvertently insults an attractive young woman who is a student at the university. Unable to forget the encounter and unable to forgive himself for upsetting the pretty woman, he becomes obsessed with the idea of making it up to her. Eddie is a simple-minded man who initially means no harm, but sometimes he reacts uncontrollably and violently to situations he doesn't understand. So when his efforts to apologize receive no response, he decides he must teach this student a lesson. Eddie soon finds himself trapped in a downward spiral of increasing violence, and eventually meets up with Emma O'Brea in a startling confrontation.' -- publisher. …
