A man brutally murders another in a peculiar hunting incident -- and then proceeds to assume his persona, his life, and his wife.


When a petty argument with an arrogant stranger deep in a Wisconsin forest over who killed a deer escalates to murder, playwright Andrew Neville's life becomes a tangled web of deceit -- and self-deception. Back in hometown Chicago, Neville attends the funeral of the man he's murdered and meets his widow, Claudia, and her 3-year-old son. Neville gradually insinuates himself into the widow's confidence and conceives a plan to seize the victim's life -- his wife, his son, his work, his wealth, and even his persona and appearance. Neville will become he man he killed. It appears nothing can stop him -- except the obnoxious Chicago PI who's determined to prove that Neville and Claudia murdered her husband together.


“Faust . . . has crafted a tidy Hitchcockian tale that will be widely enjoyed.” -- Library Journal


"Another stunning crime novel, conjuring up a plot of dark and nightmarish irony . . . A thought-provoking, suspenseful, satisfying book." -- Booklist
