A surgeon's logical jealousy turns deadly when his wife seeks faith.
The story follows Ross Ransome, a wealthy plastic surgeon who values logic and control above all else. He demands perfection in his marriage, mirroring the results he achieves in surgery.

His jealousy stems from a cold, calculated mindset rather than passion. He cannot grasp why another man would desire his wife. Peter James crafts a thriller where the fear comes from human psychology, not supernatural elements. The plot focuses on the collapse of a perfect facade, driven by Ross's inability to accept irrationality.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Peter James delivers a masterclass in psychological horror by stripping away supernatural crutches to reveal the terror inherent in human rationality. Ross Ransome stands as a formidable antagonist, his jealousy portrayed not as an emotional outburst but as a logical extension of his surgical precision. The novel excels in building dread through the protagonist's inability to comprehend irrationality, creating a suffocating atmosphere where the real monster is the husband himself. James proves his reputation by crafting a narrative that feels disturbingly plausible. This book suits readers who prefer their horror grounded in reality, offering a bleak but intellectually stimulating experience that lingers long after the final page.
