Product Information
The third novel from Lauren Kelly, aka Joyce Carol Oates, under whose name she writes her commercial novels of suspense. A wealthy, charismatic, and controversial "benefactress of art" named Drewe Hildebrand disappears from her estate on the Hudson River, seemingly abducted in the night. Her young niece Marta, found in a desolate wooded area close by, is too traumatized to describe the abductors. A provocative exhibit of avant--garde "bio--art" including a blood mask of Drewe Hildebrand is disrupted by protestors. In this, her third suspense novel, Lauren Kelly explores the startling world of "bio--artists" and their admirers, as well as the interlocking worlds of private, inscrutable motives and public masks of dominance and power; the ways in which spiritual yearnings may be transformed into worldly, erotic appetites that consume the innocent.Product Identifiers
