A hot Chicago summer: the newspaper headlines are screaming of a murderer on the loose,called 'The Wolfman'.His female victims are tied up and,if not exactly eaten,mauled in a particularly hideous way.But the police can't find him.Who will be next? Parker Jagoda is in real estate. He's part of a successful firm in the Loop, in the heart of Chicago.He's happily married (it seems),with a small child,living in a wealthy suburb. What his wife doesn't know is that he has been advertising in the 'Personal' column of the Chicago Reader for an attractive SWF - single white female; what she does know is that Parker needs his kicks,inside marriage,and happily indulges his appetite for fantasy in seedy hotel rooms.But Parker needs much more,and this leads him,and the novel,towards a nemesis of horrifying proportions,the limits of guilt and remorse. Paul Theroux has written a masterpiece of erotic psychosis - of murder and its aftermath.Stylish,immaculately written,it is the work - some might call it a morality tale - of a supreme storyteller.
