Tony & Susan

Anyone who has read this book will never again be able to drive alone at night along lonely country roads as carefree as before. One day, Susan Morrow receives a letter from her ex-husband Edward, from whom she hasn't heard in twenty years. When she left Edward, he wanted to become a writer, and now he has sent her the manuscript of his first novel, asking for her opinion. Reluctantly, Susan begins to read. It is the deeply disturbing story of mathematics professor Tony Hastings, whose wife and daughter are kidnapped and brutally murdered while on their way to vacation. The story of a man who has forgotten how to fight back. Irresistibly, Susan is drawn into the grip of this oppressive novel, and the further she reads, the more she begins to suspect that Edward is telling a cleverly coded story about her.
