Held to Answer

This ingeniously plotted novel reveals the strange ways that men and women choose to act out their romantic feelings -- and the lengths some will go to avenge unrequited love. John Hampstead is a jack-of-all-trades who is bowled over by the dramatic presence of actress Marien Dourney -- but not quite in the way that she hopes. When John doesn't return her affections, Marien hatches a depraved plan to exact revenge. Will John be able to escape her clutches?
