Three compulsively readable novels set in Manhattan-where marriages have secrets and ordinary lives hide dangerous edges.
An ex-advertising star will do anything to win back the life he lost.
A married man becomes obsessed with the childhood bully he blames for his failures-and the fixation poisons his marriage with secrecy and paranoia.
A financial reporter meets a man in a bar, loses his wallet, and finds himself in a blackmail scheme that turns frighteningly personal.
This is Jason Starr's New York: couples arguing in overheated apartments, partners checking each other's phones, credit cards pushed to the limit, flirtations that feel harmless until they don't. A city where people stay together for the wrong reasons-and discover how quickly love can turn into suspicion.
These three psychological thrillers explore the pressure points of modern relationships: the need to be wanted, the fear of being ordinary, the humiliations we hide from the person in the next room. One bad decision leads to another. A secret becomes a habit. And the one you trust most can suddenly look like a stranger.
Tense, intimate, and darkly addictive, The Manhattan Trilogy is domestic suspense with a Manhattan pulse-stories about people like us, making choices we swear we'd never make.
