The Mistress's Revenge
The Mistress's Revenge by Tamar Cohen
Paperback, 352 pages
Published 2011 by Free Press
There's a fine line between love and hate.
Fatal Attraction set in the era of Facebook; fiery, passionate, engrossing, unsettling, manipulative, and graphic--a debut novel written as one woman's letter to the married man who has just dumped her, and upon whom she exacts a terrifying revenge.
When their five-year affair with the sexy televisions personality Clive Gooding brutally ends on a dime--his dime--Sally Islip is devastated. But with Sally, Clive has made one fundamental mistake: he has chosen someone who has less to lose then he has, and Sally will have her revenge--no matter what the cost to the people around them.
The cat-and-mouse tale that follows is told through the journals Sally's therapist has told her to keep. Sally, whose mental state is gradually unraveling, stalks Clive online and off, keeping him on an agonizing knife-edge of fear of exposure. In return, he mobilizes his underworld contacts against her. How far is he prepared to go to silence the woman he once lover "more than life itself?" What form will Sally's obsessive revenge eventually take? Who actually has final control, and who will end up losing everything?
A triumphant debut along the lined of Jennifer Weiner and Zoe Heller, The Mistress's Revenge is a journey inside the mind of a woman made mad by the possibility of love and made alive by the possibility of hate.
