Omschrijving
The chilling psychological thriller from the Anthony Award-winning author of PANIC ATTACK
EVERYONE HAS A SECRET
Life is sublime in the idyllic suburb of New York City. Recent divorcee Karen Daily and her two kids have for the first time in years found joy as they settle into the close-knit community of Savage Lane. Neighbors, Mark and Deb Berman, have been so supportive as Karen moves on in life: teaching at the local school and even dating again.
But behind pristine houses and perfect smiles lie dark motives far more sinister than Karen could have ever imagined. Unknown to her, Mark, trapped in his own unhappy marriage, has developed a rich fantasy life for the two of them. And as rumors start to spread, it seems that he isn't the only one targeting her…
PRAISE FOR JASON STARR'S SAVAGE LANE
"Reminiscent of Rick Moody's THE ICE STORM and Tom Perrotta's LITTLE CHILDREN, SAVAGE LANE is a novel of our lives and times that is a must-read on multiple levels… Starr is one of the greatest writers now working in the United States."
BOOKREPORTER
"A hard-to-put-down book—you are likely to find yourself repeatedly thinking "I'll just read one more chapter." One of the best crime fiction books of the year."
THE TELEGRAPH, LONDON
"Who but Jason Starr could render suburban vice pitch black, sneakily endearing, and wickedly funny all at once? Shows, in grand style, how twisted the hearts of All-American families can be, and how those white picket fences can be dangerously sharp."
MEGAN ABBOTT
"Savage Lane is a wickedly smart and twisted look at suburbia - a tense thriller and searing satire."
—Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author of The Cartel
"A work of twisted genius; deliciously dark and funny. VERY highly recommended."
—Mark Edwards, bestselling author of Because She Loves Me and The Magpies
"SAVAGE LANE is a next-level kind of crime novel. The kind of book that gets in your head and stays there for a long time, and makes you look at yourself and everyone else differently. "
—Ed Brubaker, Eisner Award winning author
"One of the best books of 2015, and Starr is one of the greatest writers now working in the United States. Reminiscent of Rick Moody's THE ICE STORM and Tom Perrotta's LITTLE CHILDREN, SAVAGE LANE is a novel of our lives and times that is a must-read on multiple levels."
—Bookreporter
"A satirical and chilling portrait of a very bent side of suburbia." —Booklist
"(A) deadly tale of dysfunctional people living on a cul-de-sac in an upscale suburb...mix two distrustful teenage daughters, a psychopathic killer and a likable gay detective, and you get a fun, trashy domestic thriller."
—Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"A surfeit of toxic behavior surrounds the aptly named Savage Lane...Starr has some startling plot twists up his sleeve." —Publishers Weekly
"A thrilling noir that offers up a searing satire of a declining marriage, suburban life, and obsessive love."
—Criminal Element
"Jason Starr's devilish wit and zealous style gives Savage Lane a unique sense of irreverence and some blackly hilarious moments, helping distinguish it in the busy thriller landscape."
—Crime Fiction Lover
"Packed with thrills, Starr has crafted a thriller that also manages to be a hilarious satire on urban America, and a careful character study. Carefully crafted and constantly thrilling, Savage Lane is a rapid and enjoyable read."
—The Book Bag (UK)
"Read this if you liked pretty much anything by Patricia Highsmith. Savage Lane is a fun, darkly humorous ride that you're going to want to take." —LitReactor
