Love, sex and death collide in this darkly comic story of two neighbors, Jerry and Vanessa, who witness a murder on their quiet street in Brooklyn. Their impulsive attempt to right a senseless wrong soon leads to an extra-marital affair. Ruin and emotional mayhem follow, as Medusa, an anonymous New York gossip columnist, starts picking apart their lives during an investigation of the killing. Even a last-ditch escape to California turns into grist for the media mill and further humiliation-- until the hunted decide to fight back.

This novel explores the troubling currents of desire that swirl beneath our fears, and the lengths some will go to discover whether tainted motives, lost love and death itself can be redeemed.
