More DescriptionChloe Dales's life is in order, but she is troubled-by the aggression of her government's foreign policy; by the poacher who roams the land behind her studio; and by her son Toby's new girlfriend, a Croatian refugee named Salome Drago. Raised in the Croatian expatriate community of New Orleans, Salome is a toxic mix of the old world and the new: intelligent, superstitious, sly, seductive, and confident. Chloe distrusts her on sight, and as Toby's obsession grows, her mistrust deepens, alienating her from her tolerant husband and besotted son. Rich with menace, the novel unfolds in a world where darkness intrudes into bright and pleasant places, a world with betrayal at its heart.
