In the Cut - Softcover
"Remarkable, erotic, intelligent, and daring."--Vanity Fair
By day, Frannie teaches her writing students about irony and language in all its nuance, eccentricity, and unspoken meaning. By night, she compiles a secret dictionary of street slang . . . and takes chances. One night in the basement of a bar she walks in on an intimate moment between a man and a woman. The man's face is shadowed in the darkness, but she will forever remember the tattoo on the inside of his left wrist; the feeling of his eyes on her. She will remember long after the first brutal murder rocks her neighborhood . . . long after she is propelled into a sexual liaison that tests the limits of her safety and desires, as she begins a terrifying descent into the dark places that reside deep within her. Newly repackaged in its first trade paperback edition, In the Cut is a masterfully written thriller that will keep readers tense with its mounting sense of terror.
"Brilliant. A beautifully crafted story of obsession, sex, violation . . . gut-twisting . . . goes deliberately too far, climaxing in one of the most authentically shocking endings in recent fiction."--The San Francisco Chronicle

Soon she grows increasingly wary about the motives of every man with whom she has contact--and about her own.
