  <default_description>Steve Nye&#8217;s quiet life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a call from his mother. His father attacked her and has been committed to an asylum. The doctor says he&#8217;s suffering from dementia. But Steve&#8217;s father seems so calm, clear-eyed, and lucid when he whispers, &#8220;I killed her&#8221;. Is it simply symptom of his father&#8217;s delusion and madness?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; If only Steve were so lucky&#8230; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This novel is quite a bit different from any of Little's other novels, and not just because of the departure from his penchant for one-word titles. For one thing, it's a bit more subtle than his previous works, with less over-the-top wholesale sex and gore. It's a first-person narrative, and virtual...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75468527">more...</a>]]></body>
