Although to all appearances Suzanne and Carl Peters live an idyllic life in pretty St Ives, beneath the veneer of domestic bliss lurks a dark secret which threatens to destroy everything they hold dear. For the last seven years they have lived a lie, lived in fear that the violence of the past will catch up with them, and now it seems that their worst nightmares are coming true.
Suzanne was a damaged child, and she has grown into a damaged woman. For seven years Carl has protected her from her terrors, sheltered her from the world for which she seems so ill-equipped, but when a series of poison pen letters disturb long buried ghosts, Suzanne and Carl's carefully guarded world explodes with shocking consequences.
Engrossing, chilling and utterly compelling, A Deep Deceit is a tour de force of sexual intrigue and obsessive love with a startling sting in its tail.

Sexual hunger; demonic violence; sinister logic - the lethal components of a deadly formula driving a psychopath in the grip of an unimaginable delusion; a boastful killer who sends the police tormenting notes; a tortured, torturing monster who finds ultimate pleasure in viciously murdering happy families, and calls himself... The Red Dragon. Special agent Will Graham had been assigned to similar cases before, cases where he was able to see and feel with the madmen, anticipate their moves and, most terrifying of all, be vulnerable to their horrifying brutality. Now Graham is reluctantly lured out of retirement, to find an opening to the evil mind of the Red Dragon.
Red Dragon is quite probably the most suspenseful, utterly compelling thriller ever written.
