From the internationally bestselling author of "Beautiful Malice"
comes a captivating novel of psychological suspense about love and
friendship, loyalty and betrayal--perfect for readers of S. J.
Watson and Lisa Unger.
Tim Ellison feels lucky when he finds a cheap place to rent in his
dream location, close to the restaurant where he works as a chef,
and even closer to his favorite surf spot at Sydney's popular Manly
Beach. But the cavernous house is infused with a sense of
foreboding, and his furnished room there comes with a condition: he
must look after the mansion's mysterious owner.
Anna London is withdrawn and frail, a twenty-year-old with the
inexplicable demeanor and habits of an elderly woman. From her
grand home on the hill, she can see the city and the ocean, but she
can never leave. Her anxieties keep her locked inside, unable to
handle the outside world.
As Tim settles in, he struggles to get to know the person who
depends on him for food and care. Slowly, Anna reveals glimpses of
herself--her history, her sadness, her crippling fears. And then
strange things begin to happen: loud banging in the night,
unexplained figures in the shadows, sinister messages on the walls.
Tim is startled to find that even as his unease about the house
grows, he is increasingly attracted to its hauntingly beautiful
owner. But is Anna London someone to pity . . . someone to love . .
. or someone to fear?
Taut and intense, "Sweet Damage" is an addictive novel about
vulnerability, obsession, and duplicity, with a modern Gothic
twist.
