Swf Seeks Same by John Lutz ISBN 13: 9780312051655

275 pages. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's green cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Mystery writer Lutz ( Time Exposure ) here offers a contemporary horror tale that few readers will be able to put down. Things begin to fall apart for computer consultant Allie Jones when she discovers that her live-in lover, investment broker Sam Rawson, has strayed. After throwing him out, she needs a new roommate to help pay the rent. A discreet newspaper advertisement brings in Hedra Carlson, a mousy young woman who quickly begins to idolize and imitate her. A quiet air of menace develops, enhanced by Lutz's simple, direct prose. Is Hedra literally stealing Allie's life? Is Sam, who pleads his way back into her affections, really faithful this time?

New York: St. Martin's Press, 1990. Lutz is the award-winning author of four different mystery series and more than four dozen novels but it is this stand-alone mystery-thriller that may well be his best remembered work. It features Allison Jones, who has just thrown out her unfaithful male live-in and placed a newspaper ad for a "single, white female" roommate. The ad is answered by mousy little Hedra Carlson who seems to be the answer to Allison's problems. Except Hedra's almost abject admiration can be irritating. And then the strange, unsettling incidents start, leading to a bloody, nightmarish conclusion. First edition, first printing, (as stated, with complete numberline). About 5 3/4 x 8 1/4 inches, in green paper-covered boards with gold lettering on spine. Dustjacket's front panel shows author and title in white and yellow lettering against a NYC city-scape background. Back panel contains five advance praise blurbs for the book.
