A brutal killing machine, Merec murders for sheer pleasure. But before he snuffs out his victims' lives, he plays with them, forcing them to reveal their basest nature. All bets are off, though, when he meets Sarah, an enigmatic woman who confounds Merec's cynical expectations by offering her own life in exchange for another's.
Fascinated by her refusal, Merec takes Sarah hostage and begins a barbarous battle of wills that will horrify and mesmerize a bloodthirsty nation and its media -- a twisted cat-and-mouse game, transforming the boundaries between killer and captive as it races toward an explosive end. And only one will survive...

'Meric, assassin and terrorist, exists by a set of rules that no one can fathom. He believes he knows the secrets ofhuman nature. Sarah is crippled, both inbody and soul, in the same accident that killed her husband. Desolate and unreponsive, she is living in a nursing home, attempting to recover. When Meric and his gang are hires to murder a resident of Sarah's new home, he sets in motion a macabre experiment. He plans to prove, to himself and the world, just how predictable human nature is. Yet Meric discovers Sarah suddenly throws his well-ordered world into chaos. She refuses to be afraid. She refuses to succumb to the lure that Meric has set, and save her own life. Unsettled and uncertain, Meric kidnaps Sarah. She rapidly becomes the centre of a storm of media frenzy, fuelled by Meric's video diaries of Sarah's imprisonment and torture. Public opinion soars as Sarah is thrust into the media limelight - a hero. Police and FBI are determined to find the murderers and their hostage, before she is killed. But they are not working to find a common criminal. Meric may not be found until, or if, he wishes it. Sarah's continuing affect on Meric may prove her salvation, or her downfall. She may be rescued in time. Yet ultimately, does she even want to be found? To be returned to an existence somehow less alive than the one she lives with a killer? The question remains whether Meric will set her free despite her affect on him, or is she destined to die because of it?' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Quantity Available: 1.
