Single White FemaleImitation is the deadliest form of flattery. . . After a messy break-up, Allie Jones finds herself living alone in her New York City apartment, no one to share her bed with--and more urgently, no one to share her rent. The solution seems clear: she needs a roommate. And Hedra Carlson seems perfect--she's shy, quiet. . .safe. But soon Hedra's disturbing envy of Allie's looks and social life becomes unsettling. She wears Allie's clothes, even buys a wig in Allie's color and style. Then the obscene phone calls begin, Allie's credit cards vanish, and she discovers Hedra is living a dangerous double life. . .and far worse. For Hedra's twisted admiration has no limits, the nightmare has just begun, and there will be a bloody price to pay. "Gotham paranoia at its creepiest." –Kirkus Reviews "A contemporary horror tale that few readers will be able to put down." –Publishers Weekly "Single White Female is great!" –Tony Hillerman "Lutz knows how to make you shiver." –Harlan Coben "Riveting, chilling." – Jonathan Kellerman |
