| Philip Wardman， an ordinary young man， sports one eccentricity: a neurotic fear of violence and death. Like Ferdinand， he likes to smell the flowers， particularly those in his mother s garden， where stands a statue of the goddess Flora， who over time has come to represent all the female virtues.Imagine Philip s consternation when， at his sister s wedding， he encounters a living incarnation of the marble Flora: Senta Pelham， an actress happily contemptuous of conventional morality. She comes to him that night.But Senta has a dark side. Where death frightens Philip， it fascinates her. She proposes a wicked test: to prove his love he needs to kill."Vintage Rendell. Shrewd psychological insight， irresistible narrative force...a true member of that small family of great living authors." --Scott Turow |
