One Deadly Summer

Her name is Elaine, but the people in her small town know her simply as Elle. As a voluptuous as the photo of Marilyn Monroe she treasures, Elle is a dream of sex in the flesh - a dream she is willing to make come true for the men who adore her and the women who fear her. But Elle's path of sensual seduction leads not to the final act of love, but to the devastating stroke of revenge. And its targets are the men in her lover's family. Oblivious to the memory of a forgotten crime, they'll soon learn that retribution haunts them in the body and mind of the woman they cherish most. Told in four interacting and overlapping voices, this shattering noir thriller from the master of the genre weaves a chilling tale of passion, destruction, crime, and punishment.
