Killing me softly - Nicci French

Alice Loudon has everything: close friends, a loving boyfriend, a successful career. Then one day she meets a stranger while crossing the street and - impulsively - abandons her old, safe life for a passionate affair. It leads her into dark, dangerous territory . . . Adam Tallis teaches her things about herself she never knew. But as she learns more about her lover, she enters his world of risk and transgression - and begins to uncover a past filled with troubling secrets. Soon love and sexual obsession overwhelm her until they threaten everything: her safety, her sanity and, finally, her life.
