Learn moreMeet Syd Redding, a gruff, ambitious working-class young man and pre-med student. Syd passes the stultifying hours of 1978 in his ethics class fantasizing about the destruction of the Kesslers, his boss's well-to-do Ohio family, a threesome "moneyed and beautiful and installed high in the city's society." As he steps onto the doorstep of their grand mansion in the estate section of their city, Syd has no detailed plan in mind, only vague, delicious dreams of vengeance. But when he meets the boss's daughter, he soon finds himself caught in the sexual machinations of this magnetic family. A simple affair leads from obsession through rage to a revenge plot that will transform the lives of everyone involved.

Reviews
“His most controversial yet.”
“An engrossing novel to read on a coast-to-coast flight, or on a cold homebound weekend. Just don’t forget to get off the plane, or to get dinner from the oven.”
“Holden knows how to create a tight, high-velocity narrative and surprising characters.”
“Holden is a writer to watch.”
“Exceptional for its well-crafted characters and solid, skillful plotting. This is a thriller with staying power, not easily forgotten.”
“Holden at his best.”
“Hardly a conventional thriller, this red-meat narrative revisits a scenario reminiscent of Room at the Top or even The Graduate.”
