Summary
Carter Graham is a successful lawyer living in the City of London. After growing up in a family shamed by debt and eviction, Carter is determined to make it big in life, to be a "high flyer." Life looks promising until she marries fellow upstart Kim Betz. Kim is wealthy, intelligent, and handsome, but unbeknownst to Carter, he has a secret past that, if revisited, could cause catastrophe. Though Kim had told Carter that he came from a modest family of Jewish refugees, Carter discovers, with the help of Kim's emotionally disturbed ex-wife, that his father was a Nazi. Not only that, but Kim has been involved in murder and kinky sex rituals and continues to take advice from a so-called "healer" named Mrs. Mayfield, who specializes in blackmail and the occult. Confused by her husband's betrayal and shocked when she eventually discovers the dead body of his ex-wife, Carter flees to a healing center in the hopes of gathering enough strength to face Kim and his malevolent past.

Ballantine Books, 2001. Trade Paperback. Good. Minor shelf wear, otherwise a beautiful copy! Binding tight, pages clean & bright, covers pristine. "Successful London lawyer Carter Graham has power, sex appeal, and a well-ordered life. Everything has gone according to plan, including her recent marriage to Kim Betz, an investment banker with the right combination of looks and position. On the surface it appears to be a match made in heaven. The only problem is Kim’s ex-wife. Sophie begins to follow Carter like a shadow, making outrageous claims about Kim’s involvement in the occult. Convincing herself that Sophie is mad, Carter moves ahead with her life. But something is amiss and as Sophie’s stories are corroborated by other unwelcome disclosures from Kim’s past, Carter is thrown into a terrifying web of suspicion and betrayal, pushing her sanity to the edge. In desperation, Carter seeks help from Nicholas Darrow, the charismatic priest of St. Benet’s Healing Center. Though a religious skeptic, Carter hopes to stem the tide of darkness that threatens to envelop her life and begins a compelling journey into the very nature of good and evil, wisdom and redemption."
