Synopsis

Megan, a lonely and quirky used-records store clerk, has a spark that few people see. She will go far in life, but she’s taking her own sweet time getting there—at least, she is up until an unhappily married hunka hunka burning love waltzes into her life and sweeps her off of her feet. No one has ever made her feel this way, this loved and this special, and it surprises her just what she’s willing to do to make it last a little longer. She starts following his cold and evil wife around their peaceful college town to find out what she’s up against, and uncovers dark and disturbing secrets that lurk just beneath the surface in this steamy and shocking prequel to the Heresy series."I found the book to be one of those that I just can’t put down. It had just the right mix of intellect, intrigue, mystery, action, humor and compelling plot. Your style of writing is easy to understand, without being simplistic. And very descriptive without being too wordy. And the way you wove together so many seemingly separate subplots was superb! It held my interest throughout the book. I’m now eager to read the rest of the trilogy and your other books!"~ Dave Duffy Minneapolis, MN

In the tradition of Heresy, Thy Neighbor’s Wife is a sexy rollercoaster of a novel that blows the whistle on modern sex slavery, the “bug chaser” movement, the world of art forgery, and yet another disturbing phenomenon that exists under our very noses—the Royal Nonesuch.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Alexander Ferrar was born on a battlefield, and the first sounds he heard were the shots that killed his parents. He was reared by a cutthroat band of evil mercenaries, and he grew up hard, suckled as he was at the teats of war. He-okay, no, he wasn't. He lives in La Antigua Guatemala where he owns a restaurant-art gallery and a very popular exotic ice cream company, and he has a beautiful wife. His grass is plenty green. He's also the author of the Heresy series of crime fiction novels, the sword-and-sorcery comedy Saga of the Beverage Men, the forthcoming Memoirs of a Swine, and the art collection Variety is the Spice. But the other story sounded better, didn't it? * * * * * * "I wrote my first book when I was four, but, just like Mozart's first concerto, written when he was four years old as well, it was crap. In fact, every book I wrote up until I was twenty-three was crap, mostly derivative of my favorite authors at the time if not outright plagiarism (oddly enough, just like Mozart). Then I read Mark Twain's advice on good writing: "Write what you know," and I realized I didn't know anything, at least not anything worth writing about, so I left the comforts of my ivory tower and struck out on a new life of adventure. There were chases, escapes, heroes and villains (of which I was both) betrayal and revenge, and no small amount of sex-drugs-rock-n-roll on three continents. I roosted in henhouses and wallowed in pigsties. Having managed to survive the seedy underworld into which I'd plunged, I have come back to tell the tales that my imagination never could have conjured up (with a bit of fiction of course--the names have been changed to protect the guilty) and invite you to enjoy them, learn from my mistakes, and see just what a dangerous world lurks just beneath the surface." ---Alexander Ferrar
