Demons

    For the "Nameless Detective," investigations involving
matters of the heart are to be avoided. But when an old poker buddy asks him to
help frazzled and distraught Kay Runyon, whose husband, Victor, is having a
clandestine affair with a mystery woman named Nedra, Nameless relents. After
all, it seems like a simple matter: Find out just who Nedra is so Kay can
confront her in a last-ditch effort to save her marriage.
    But Nameless soon discovers that there is much more at
stake than a simple affair. Nedra is a modern-day Circe who attracts men who
become obsessed with her, in some cases dangerously so. Victor Runyon is the
latest in a long line; others whose paths Nameless crosses include a violent
ex-convict, Nedra's jealous ex-husband, and a powerful San Francisco
politician.
    Victor's obsession with Nedra takes a bizarre twist when
she suddenly vanishes without a trace. Did she disappear willingly or was she
the victim of one of her lovers' private demons? Nameless must find out before
it's too late to save Victor and Kay from tragic ends. And he do so while trying
to cope with a very personal and private demon of his own.
    Demons is a powerful tale of psychological
suspense that builds inexorably to a chilling and shocking climax.
