Recenzii
“Full of surprises, Darkness Bound is one sneaky read.” —Leslie Glass, New York Times bestselling author of Stealing Time
From Publishers Weekly
Teasingly erotic, Brooks' first novel is that rarest of sexual thrillers, in which the sex isn't gratuitous but a convincing means to an end. What begins as a way for Seattle stockbroker Dillon Masters to live out his sexual fetishes turns into a high-stakes game of strategy and deceit, in which the prize is life. The players in this game are few, including Masters, his wife, his mysterious lover (whom he calls the "Dark Lady"), her husband, a detective, a psychiatrist and a lawyer friend of Masters, but the many extremes each takes to destroy the others are shocking. Midnight phone calls, secret dalliances and dangerous play-acting ensue until Masters realizes he's caught in a complex scam and could be pegged for murder. The novel's final scenes burst with the intensity of a first-rate horror film, and it's difficult to detect a loophole in the intricate plot.

Extras
She sat very still in her husband’s favorite chair, sipping an exquisite Pinot Noir as she watched him die. That there could be pleasure in the taking of a life was something she hadn’t considered. For all her meticulous planning and diabolical patience, the notion of experiencing some dark shiver of satisfaction had never entered her mind. But here on the threshold of commitment, fully invested and completely immersed in the moment, she understood it instinctively. Whether it was death or power or simply the sweet venom of revenge made no difference, really. Perhaps it was just the intoxicating whiff of impending freedom. For her these things had become a sum in excess of their parts, melting and melding, changing everything.
At first it felt comfortable, like slipping into an expensive designer gown before a full mirror, the moment encasing you and making you understand your feminine power. It didn’t take her long to realize, however, that this, like so many fantasies spun into flesh, wasn’t the enduring entertainment it had started out to be.
The idea had been born four months earlier while she was scanning a travel magazine at her hair salon. It was a pictorial on the island of Capri in Italy, a place she’d always wanted to see, a place her husband said they’d never go. He’d been there in another life, and he took some ridiculous masculine pride in never covering the same ground twice. She could go herself, he informed her quite seriously, when he was dead and buried. He’d said it with that mean little smile of his, and in that instant the dark idea became an intention that breathed. From that point on, every thought, every agenda, had related to this moment.
