Slasher

Gary Somers was on top of the world. The arrogant host of an in-your-face TV talk show, Gary has all the money, success, and women he could want with only more of the same ahead. But the sleaze TV host is about to descend from the top of the world into his own special hell, a hell designed for him by a woman whose lust and obsession is beyond anything he's ever imagined. Slasher is a taut psychological mystery set in contemporary New York. In the outrageous world of shock TV, no one is more shocking than Gary Somers. No one operates closer to the line or crosses it more often than Gary, and no one is more likely to unleash the hidden obsessions of a woman known only as Samantha. Her gradual intrusion into his life-at first trivial, later disturbing, and finally deadly-will take Gary on a roller-coaster ride of sexual obsession and deranged violence unlike any story he's ever put before the screen. The search for Samantha will reach back twenty years to another brutal crime buried in a small town's past and reach forward to a cold night in a Manhattan loft building where Gary and Samantha confront each other in a climax of madness and fear. By the time this relentless suspense thriller is finished, readers will have been taken on a roller-coaster ride of their own.
