An upstanding juror becomes dangerously obsessed with a seductive
plaintiff in this “fast-paced, haunting” novel by a #1 New York
Times–bestselling author (Boston Sunday Herald). Terence Greene
is admired for his perfect life in an affluent New Jersey suburb, and
for his marriage to a minister’s beautiful and wealthy daughter.
He’s also envied for his successful career as director of an arts
foundation. But all of that changes when Terence is summoned to jury
duty in Trenton. Ava-Rose Renfrew, the alleged victim in an assault
case, is a sexy, irresistibly raw, and low-rent woman who lives on the
shadowy banks of the Delaware River with a strange clan she calls
family. And she’s very eager to show Terence her appreciation for
his loyalty in the jury box. Before long, their quick and dirty
affair becomes an obsession, and getting hooked on a drug as potent
and violent as Ava-Rose soon turns Terence’s respectable life to
dust. He’s willing to do anything for her: lie, embezzle,
steal—and worse. For Terence, losing control is half the fun. But
trying to get it back is terrifying. The recipient of honors
ranging from the National Book Award to the Bram Stoker Award, Joyce
Carol Oates has explored obsession and sexual terrors in such
acclaimed novels as Zombie, Daddy Love, and Jack of Spades. In Double
Delight, writing as Rosamond Smith, she proves herself an abandoned
and fearless talent in psychological suspense.
