An exhilarating novel of erotic and psychotic extremes from one of Canada's best novelists. <P>Everyone would agree that Darius Halloway is the most civilized of men--a professor of French literature, a connoisseur of ideas and women and wine, a perfect guest at life's dinner party.

Until the ultimate revenge arises, and there he is, in the most damning of situations, with his nerves on fire and his heart in his throat...and finally not thinking of Emma. 1389476 2001 Sparrow Nights total:19|5:0|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:0| 19 68 30 4 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 13:18:44 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 11:54:16 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jul 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 09:11:22 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 09:11:50 -0700 2009 SETTING: Toronto
