From the author of the critically acclaimed Fox, winner of the McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award. Sam and Angie, husband and wife, businessman and lawyer, live in a privileged world of wealth and success. All is well with their marriage until Sam's feelings accelerate into anxiety, suspicion and jealousy. Their love collapses into surveillance and their sexual relationship becomes a shocking act of violence. Margaret Sweatman's clean, elegant prose precisely portrays the politics of a relationship in decline, and the cold, ugly passion which exists just under the surface of Sam and Angie's upper-class world.
