The glittering, sharp and sinister work of one of our most incisive
and wickedly funny satirists; 'Isabel Colegate has no rival' (The
Times) 'What we feel for each other is really a passion for power,'
said Judith. 'We want to destroy each other by making the other
fall in love with us.' Judith Lane, not-quite-beautiful but
charmingly serious, is the young widow of the war hero Anthony
Lane, and an editor at the successful if rather rakish publisher
Hanescu Lane & Co. Ltd. But one evening the harmonious routine
of Judith's life is interrupted when she receives her first visit
from Baldwin Reeves, who reveals that Anthony's wartime adventures
were not quite as glorious as the newspaper reports would have her
believe. To protect Anthony's family from the scandal, Judith
reluctantly acquiesces to the repellent but attractive Reeves's
demands - but both blackmailer and blackmailee soon find themselves
out of their depth in ways they could not have anticipated. Darkly
funny, strangely sexy, and glittering with Isabel Colegate's
scalpel-sharp wit, The Blackmailer is a savage and sinister comic
classic.
