The Wild Zone Hardcover - 2010

From the publisher

With every novel she's written, Joy Fielding has delivered a heart-stopping thrill ride to millions of readers all over the globe. Each of her books is "packed with breathless twists and turns," as Publishers Weekly said of Mad River Road, and deftly assembled into what the Globe & Mail calls "a labyrinth of tension." Her latest thriller, The Wild Zone, is no exception.

In this compelling novel, Fielding introduces two brothers, Will and Jeff, and their friend Tom, a trio of playboys out to make something happen in the hot sands of South Beach. One night at their favorite watering hole, they make a bet on who will be the first to seduce a mysterious young woman they've never seen before. Dark-haired and blue-eyed, Suzy has a disarming, girl-next-door aura about her. She seems like an easy mark, "just waiting for Prince Charming to hit on her," says Jeff. But these players have no idea what they're dealing with. A woman filled with secrets, Suzy is hunting for the right man to kill her abusive husband. In the end, the real competition will be to see which Prince Charming is tough enough to slay the dragon and rescue this damsel in distress. And he may not come out alive.
