A new story by the bestselling author of “The Seducer.” A novel in the genre of criminal melodrama, exploring the dynamics between the leader of a criminal syndicate and a thief forced to work for him. Special attention is paid to the psychology of power and the mechanisms of forming emotional dependency in asymmetrical relationships. I, a simple thief, struck a deal with the king of Miami’s crime—Snake—and now my life belongs to him. Snake protected me when I tried to rob the boss of another group, and I was declared a target—so now I’m doomed to work for him until I settle the debt. Snake has big plans for me, and I don’t even know why he’s so interested in me. But his eyes literally burn through me, and his predatory smile won’t let me go. Snake is a hunter—and something tells me that this time, his prey is me.
