Publisher's Synopsis
"A virtuoso" GUARDIAN Meet Benjamin Thorpe - husband, father, successful architect and a man obsessed. Alone on a business trip, he spends a fateful night in Manhattan drinking and frantically chasing women. His dizzying descent leads to an early morning confrontation in a mid-town brothel, and a subsequent searing self-revelation. Cathy Frese - better known as Heidi the "teenage" hooker - finishes up for the night and walks back to her studio apartment. But she never arrives. Her strangled, used and mutilated body is found in an alleyway the next morning. The path of these two lost souls crossed briefly that fateful night, and as the foggy events of the evening come into sharper focus, Benjamin Thorpe becomes an ever more possible suspect.
