"Morris pumps [the story of a wronged woman] full of adrenaline by running a wicked psychological thriller in the background . . . painfully insightful . . . It all leads to a propulsive climax that makes this sensitive work of literary fiction also incredibly exciting . . . Don't wait for the inevitable movie version." --Washington Post.
"Skillfully paced, its characters engrossingly snared in complicated relationships . . . Intense, urgent feelings . . . pulse through its pages." --New York Times Book Review

A razor-sharp, darkly satirical and warped novel about murder, love, torture, art, ninjas, ambition, drugs...and everything in between.
Leigh Tiller has just been kidnapped. The beautiful, ineffably cool New York socialite is being held by a bunch of stylish, but imbecilic terrorists who've demanded millions in ransom from Leigh's wealthy father. There's just one problem: Kip Tiller doesn't want Leigh back. He wants her dead. And he's hired the Serologist—a psychotic, patchwork-scarred hit man—to make sure it happens.

"Very, very good . . . so smooth a telling of a rough ride that you'd think it was the author's fourth, fifth, or sixth book, not her first . . . a major accomplishment. Ginnah Howard is a writer to watch." --Washington Times
"A wrenching . . . tragic family drama . . . Howard is a graceful, spare, and fluid writer, and her somber and bleak novel has the power to lift and inspire." --Publishers Weekly
"Harrowing . . . unflinching . . . Stark scenarios [that] will be cathartic for readers who have dealt with them firsthand and cautionary for those who haven't." --Kirkus, starred review
