A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"His most crowd-pleasing to date...[Starr] absolutely shines with these characters...A very funny, dark social satire." --Publishers Weekly

"It's been years since a thriller grabbed me the way Jason Starr's THE FOLLOWER did. I really couldn't stop reading it. Whenever I had to put it down to do some work, I found myself picking it up anyway, sneaking a quick chapter or two, forcing myself to stop, then picking it up again. I didn't want to leave the world he'd created, the great characters, the propulsive storytelling. His portrayal of the lives of twenty-something New Yorkers struck me as pitch-perfect. And the premise - The Date From Hell - is irresistible, and truly terrifying. Everyone who's ever gone out on a date should read this book--before they date again. THE FOLLOWER puts Starr up there with some of the greats of psychological suspense--Patricia Highsmith, Ira Levin, Ruth Rendell, Peter Abrahams. I totally loved this book." --Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of PARANOIA and POWER PLAY

"Writing as if he is channeling a heavenly collaboration involving James M. Cain, John Cheever and Lawrence Durrell, Starr explores a "relationship" involving an erstwhile suitor obsessed with a woman who barely regards him as a friend, examining vignettes from the viewpoints of each while infusing every page with a subtle but growing creepiness."

Présentation de l'éditeur

In New York City's work hard, play harder singles scene, a young woman looking for love can find herself the object of a deadly obsession. With each meaningless date and disappointing new boyfriend, Katie Porter is becoming more and more disillusioned. No matter how wide a net she casts she can't seem to find a guy who really understands her.

But someone thinks she's special - very special. And he's following her... But it's not her boyfriend, Andy. The frat-boy who never grew up is too busy working out how far Katie will go and if her friends are hot, to stop and think whether Katie's 'the one'. But someone's already decided she is - and he's watching her.

Peter sees Katie at the gym. He sees her at the coffee bar she stops at on the way to work. In fact, he sees her almost everywhere, as he quietly follows her. But most of all, he sees her in his plans for the future. He's got the proposal worked out, he's even got the ring and their happy home already bought. After all, he's had enough time to plan things to perfection - he grew up in the same small town. Surely, after all these years, he can't let anything stand in his way.
