{"product_id":"2940157132064","title":"The White Devil","description":"Edgar Award winner Domenic Stansberry returns with this sultry, decadent murder mystery. The White Devil tells the story of an aspiring American actress, who--together with her too charmng brother --is implicated in a series of crimes dating back to their childhood days in Texas. The novel begins in Rome, among the American ex-patriot community, and from there follows the siblings' latest obsessions: an aging Italian actress and her charismatic husband. Stansberry's protagonist, Vicki Wilson, narrates the story in a voice alternately intimate and distant, a cipher of unwholesome impulse and erotic intrigue. The result is an elegant tour de force, a psychological noir exploring the murky depths where the differences between familial and erotic love, between criminal and victim, merge in deadly, unexpected ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE WHITE DEVIL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdgar-winner Stansberry (The Confession) takes the reader on a wild ride in this exceptional noir. . . . compelling reading.\"  Starred Review, Publishers Weekly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Guardians of the literary canon, rejoice.
