Publisher's Synopsis
"...dark and nasty...it holds the reader in a grip of steel." BOOKLIST "Excellent black comedy, urbanely written and extremely witty." DAILY MAIL There's something about Lewis that women can't resist. And working as a builder, he has easy access to the houses, and the beds, of the most attractive of his clients' wives. Lewis has two simple rules: never get involved and never stick around. But with Julie he finds himself breaking the code. There's something about Peter McGovern, too. But he's very different from Lewis. He's rich, for a start. And he's ugly. They do have something in common, though - Peter's wife, Julie - and when Lewis and McGovern meet by chance over a game of pool, the lives of the three of them can never be the same.
