Separated from her husband, Ramona Romano is a thrill-seeking redhead addicted to adventure. She soon finds scuba diving and body-building insufficiently exciting. So she uses her strength to dominate man after man, testing herself as a lover, as well as a sportsperson. She wants perfection and insists on being in control, regardless of the price. But there's one man who matches her in coolness and detachment, one man who can make her do anything he wants and then beg for more. Enzo. Her most tantalising challenge, her obsession and the man who lures her into a dark world of heroin and murder.

Recensione:
?Part thriller, part porn, part redneck comedy, Hendricks? novel os gleefully immoral, a style that relishes its own perversity and is seductive in its brutality. This is noir gone comic strip - an anarchic romp among sex and muscle that unashamedly brings the two together? Arena ?In a novel tauntingly playful and consistently raunchy, Hendricks has blazed down a path all her own...Chandler, Hammett and Cain might be shocked at such manoeuvres. But Hendricks is their first true female equivalent? Independent on Sunday ?No one writes better about white trash gone bad than Hendricks...Guaranteed to raise your temperature, whatever the weather? The Guardian
