Published in 1995 this is a standalone novel by the late, great Michael Dibdin (author of the Aurelio Zen series). Set in America, it's about a group of kids who, several years earlier, forged close friendships as they lived it up in college and experimented with drugs. Now Phil, who is happily married and has a child, is contacted out of the blue by Sam, who has just arrived in town. It’s soon obvious that Sam’s visit isn’t quite the chance meeting Phil thought. In fact, it could be linked to a series of murders that have occurred in towns and cities across America. This is a chilling story that’s difficult to read in places. In fact it's almost a horror story - although one I just couldn't put down!
